Default Did I waste my fertilizer?

I live in Southern California. Our rainy season is in
January/February/March. That's it.

Since there was a forecast for rain next week, I put about 500 lbs of
fertilizer on shrubs and lawns. This is the granulated stuff, 21-15-8.

Now they cancelled the rain and there is no rain in sight for 3 weeks.

The fertilizer granules just sit there and slowly disintegrate.

Does granulated fertilizer become ineffective if it is not watered into the
soil for three weeks?
