The rare and extreme rainfall event that hit South Florida occurred less than two months away from the start of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1.

It’s unusual for one area to be hit with 4 to 6 inches per hour over several hours, according to Deger. He referred to the severe weather event as “almost the perfect storm.”
