Latest Yearly Rainfall Totals

Our Mediterranean climate dictates we look at weather, especially our wet and dry seasons, differently than just about all other areas across the country.  Most official weather reporting stations use the calendar year to document yearly rainfall totals.  For us, we begin July 1^st and end June 30^th of the following year. 

 

The graphic shows our total rainfall since July 1^st and how much this total is above or below average for today’s date.  Rainfall totals were running below average until last Tuesday’s record setting rain.  Since then we’ve added more rain the next day as storm moved east and from another storm this past Monday. 

 

 

Below you see how many days we have recorded measurable rain this month.  These are almost exactly what you would expect in an average October.
