Will Summer of 2018 go down as the rainiest,stormiest, muggiest summer on record for NYC metro-area? Daily rainfall totals may bear this out

Again, thanks to the persistent weather pattern that has been in place since June (and I'd argue since March 2018 which I've dubbed "The Month of the Nor'easter", thanks to a total of 5 nor'easters striking the Northeastern US that month),leading to the persistent wild fires in the Western US, the Northeastern US and cities in the region like New York City are on pace for their wettest,rainiest, stormiest summers on record as the pattern has led to an endless parade of coastal storms to churn up endless amounts of water from the tropics to feed these storms and with these storms stalling out over the region for days in some cases, cities in this water-logged region have been inundated with consecutive days worth of drenching downpours. Here's the rainfall totals for the city of White Plains,NY in the northern suburbs of New York City since the summer solstice on June 22,2018,as of 1AM,EDT,August 19,2018 from weatherunderground.com
