Feeling soggy? Last month was the wettest on record for the contiguous United States, according to federal meteorologists.
On average 4.36 inches of rain and snow - mostly rain - fell over the Lower 48 in May, sloshing past October 2009 which had been the wettest month in U.S. records with 4.29 inches. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration records go back to 1895.
NOAA climate scientist Jake Crouch calculated that comes to more than 200 trillion gallons of water in May.

NOAA scientists must have manipulated the data. Afterall, there is a drought in California, so May couldn't have been the wettest month on record.
Right?
