Each line on the B-91 daily precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature entry covers a 24 hour period ending at 7AM.

This weather station is maintained by an experienced weather equipment technician.   
    Equipment:
  • NWS Standard Rain Gauge
  • NWS Fischer-Porter Weighing Rain Gauge
  • NWS Nimbus PL Digital Max-Min Temperature System
  • Davis wireless fan aspirated VP2
      using a Belfort T-755 wind transmitter
      and a WaterLog H-340 rain gauge
  • Davis wired VP2
      using an R M Young 05103 wind sensor
  • R M Young 05305 wind sensor with 04403 digital indicator
  • Peet Ultimeter rain gauge
  • CoCoRaHS Professional Rain Gauge
  The temperature is verified with a Taylor psychrometer.   The data reported on this site is the same as reported to National Weather Service for official Oglethorpe County weather climatology.   The rain database (as reported on this site) is adjusted to agree with the rain amount as measured with the NWS manual Standard Rain Gauge.

Mr. Stevens started this NWS Co-op weather station in January 1952 and it was operated later by Mr. Joe Carey.  It is one of 11,600 sites operated for the National Weather Service by citizens and contractors.  
NWS started the Oglethorpe County temperature archive in April 2004 when they added the Nimbus system to the Co-Op station.

The average annual rainfall in Lexington is 49.11 inches using the NOAA measuring period of January 1971 through December 2000.
The average annual rainfall in Lexington is 47.73 inches if you use the entire data available from January 1952 through December 2005.   See the Rain Report page.
