The Great San Diego Rain Drought of... Last Week? A Deep Dive (Kind Of)
Let's face it, San Diego isn't exactly known for its weeping skies. We're more sunshine and sandals than raincoats and rogue puddles. So, when the weather forecast dared to whisper the word "rain" last week, it was like a collective gasp rippled through the city. Did the weather gods finally get their wires crossed? Were we about to experience a full-on monsoon?
How Much Rain Did San Diego Get Last Week |
Drizzle Disappointment or Downpour Delight?
Well, buckle up buttercup, because the answer is... neither. San Diego received about as much rain last week as a particularly enthusiastic sprinkler gives your lawn. We're talking trace amounts, folks. Maybe enough to dampen a seagull's wingspan, but definitely not enough to fill your pool (although, let's be honest, who even fills pools anymore?).
There were some reports of slightly more dramatic downpours in certain pockets of the city, with some lucky ducks (or should we say, lucky pigeons?) experiencing a sprinkle that lasted a whole five minutes. But for the most part, San Diego remained comfortably dry.
So, What Does This Mean for You?
Absolutely nothing! Carry on with your regularly scheduled sun-worshipping activities. Unless you're a particularly parched plant, this non-event of a rainy week won't impact your life in the slightest.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
But hey, at least it wasn't a complete bust! We can all take solace in the fact that the weather forecasters got to flex their meteorological muscles for a hot minute, even if the rain itself was a no-show.
