Consecutive Wet Days

With Anchorage approaching the record number of consecutive days with measurable precipitation, I thought it would be interesting to see where other stations stacked up. The attached maps show the record number of consecutive days with measurable precipitation (>= 0.01") and the record number of consecutive days with at least a trace of precipitation. This was culled from the GHCN database for all Alaska stations. I decided to stick with "major" stations since they are more likely to capture days with small precipitation amounts. Ketchikan had the most consecutive days of measurable precipitation (88) and Adak had the most days with at least a trace of precipitation (203).

Here is the list that was used to make the maps above. It is sorted by max number of days with measurable precipitation.
