Drizzle Down the Memory Lane: A Statistical Deep Dive (Kind Of)
Okay, so maybe "deep dive" is a bit strong. More like a cannonball into a kiddie pool. But fear not, the data is delightful! According to the weather oracles at Golden Gate Weather Services (https://ggweather.com/monthly/), 2023 saw a whopping 34.18 inches of rain. ☔
Translation: That's enough to fill a small swimming pool...or at least provide a never-ending supply of mimosas for all those cute outdoor cafes.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty: rainy days. Drumroll please...San Francisco enjoyed (or endured, depending on your perspective) a grand total of 78 rainy days in 2023. That's almost one out of every five days spent snuggled up with a good book and a steaming cup of tea (because let's face it, who actually wants to be out there dodging rogue puddles?).
So You're Saying There's a Chance of Rain?
Well, duh. It's San Francisco. But hey, at least you know what to expect! Here's a helpful hint: if you see a fluffy white cloud daring to peek over the Golden Gate Bridge, pack an umbrella.
