Precipitation anomaly (Chapel Hill 2 W, seven-day window)

What does Precipitation anomaly (Chapel Hill 2 W, seven-day window) show?

Precipitation anomaly (Chapel Hill 2 W, seven-day window) is a source-faithful PIER20 calculation from NOAA/NCEI data. Scope: NOAA GHCN station Chapel Hill 2 W (GHCND:USC00311677), North Carolina. Each chart point covers the seven calendar days ending on that date; anomalies use 1991–2020 same-window normals. It follows the published eligibility, denominator, missing-value, revision and coverage rules in the Phase 1 computation contract.

How this is calculated

Formula
current_cumulative_precipitation − normal

current_cumulative_precipitation − normal. Scope: NOAA GHCN station Chapel Hill 2 W (GHCND:USC00311677), North Carolina. Each chart point covers the seven calendar days ending on that date; anomalies use 1991–2020 same-window normals. Source: NOAA/NCEI. NOAA/NCEI does not endorse this analysis; recent observations may be preliminary. Source period, last checked, dataset vintage, units, revision status, coverage and formula version are recorded in the derived artifact.

As of 9 Aug 2026, the latest reading is 56.06 mm. That is down 10.70 mm over the past year and above its long-run median of -8.18 mm.
