Time for a Nov MTD update of rainfall in the main S MG/E SP region. Unlike October through early Nov, this time the models did much better and verified about right instead of being too wet. As I've been doing, I follow 7 stations that are within the table located here:

The 7: Alfenas, Alpinopolis, Cape Verde, Caconde, Carmo, Guaxupe, and Monte Santo.

Average of the 7 stations for 11/1-22: 151 mm or 5.92", which is 74% of the full month's longterm average. However, the forecasts to the end of the month are for only light rain of ~12.5 mm/0.5" on average. This would bring it to only ~80% of normal for the entire November. So, whereas this is much better than Oct, which had an average of only ~40% of normal, only 3 of the 7 are projected to be near normal while 4 are heading to drier than normal with an average of only 60-75% of normal for those 4 for Nov.

So, whereas Nov is going to end up a much closer to normal month vs Oct (and without the very intense heat of early Oct), it still looks to turn out not all that good with 4 of 7 stations still significantly drier than normal.
