Last week a couple of solid falls now overnight 104 mm. This is after 3

Where are you? Can you send some rain towards southern California?

Until 10 October, we went 155 days without measurable rain. That is NOT
unusual. Sometimes, we go over 200 days.

Since 10 October, we have had 0.06 inches (1.5 mm). The most recent was
4 November, with 0.03 inches (0.8 mm).


Hooray. Last night, we got 0.38 inches (9.7 mm).

However, our accumulation for the current rain year (October to
September) is about half of this date last year; and last year was a
very dry year.
