| How Much Rain Did San Diego Get This Year |
So, How Much Rain Are We Talking About?
As of October 1st, which is when the official water year kicks off, San Diego International Airport has recorded a whopping 10.31 inches of rain. To put that in perspective, the average yearly rainfall is a measly 9.79 inches. That's right, we've not only reached the finish line, we've sprinted past it in our metaphorical rain boots.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
But Wait, There's More!
Remember those days spent chasing tumbleweeds down the street? Those are officially a thing of the past. With this extra rain, our city is looking greener, our reservoirs are feeling fuller, and our cacti are probably wondering what all the fuss is about.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Is This the New Normal?
While only time will tell if this is a one-time thing or a sign of things to come, one thing's for sure: San Diego is proving it can handle a little (or a lot) of H2O.
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
So, raise a glass (filled with rainwater, of course) to a city that's thriving and a climate that's keeping us on our toes.
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
