There are no distinctly wet and dry seasons, as in tropical countries, but careful observations show that there is more rain in the spring and late summer than in the autumn and winter. There are also special areas where there is considerable rainfall, and others in which the precipitation is slight. The records show that the areas of greatest rainfall are in southwestern Garrett County, on the eastern slope of the Catoctin Mountain in the Frederick Valley, and along the shores of Chesapeake Bay south of Annapolis and near Cambridge; while the areas of least precipitation are between Denton and Westminster and in the mountainous counties. The annual precipitation in the state varies, according to localities, from 25 to 55 inches. Fig. 33.--Map Showing Rainfall.
