Recent totals combine NOAA MRMS radar analysis, where available, with Open-Meteo weather estimates. Readings cover completed analysis hours and can lag the current time. Small, localized storms may differ from a backyard gauge.
The bigger picture

Cumulative rainfall in inches. Normal is the 1991–2020 daily average from ERA5, a weather reanalysis, rather than a nearby station gauge. Both lines use the same dataset; this comparison trails recent totals by about a week.

These readings estimate rain near this ZIP’s reference point, not an average across the entire ZIP. Use device location or search above for a more specific area. Nearby streets can receive different amounts during localized storms.
Today starts at midnight in the America/New_York time zone. The 24-hour and 7-day totals are rolling windows through the displayed analysis time. Historical dates use local calendar days; the YTD graph compares the same completed dates with the 1991–2020 ERA5 average.
Central Fort Myers lies near the Caloosahatchee River and is exposed to summer sea-breeze thunderstorms, Gulf moisture, fronts, and tropical systems. Thunderstorms may organize along river and sea-breeze boundaries, yet their heaviest rain can remain narrow enough for nearby ZIP codes to report very different totals.
The 33901 figure is an estimate near the ZIP reference point rather than a city or river-basin average. Use the daily table to identify repeated wet days and the rolling 24-hour figure for storms that cross midnight. Rainfall alone does not describe river level, drainage, or storm surge; follow National Weather Service and Lee County information for those hazards.
