San Diego Rain: Did it Actually Rain or Did We Just Weep for Another Lost Season of Our Favorite Baseball Team?
Ah, San Diego rain. A mythical creature, sometimes mistaken for a rogue rogue wave or a particularly enthusiastic sprinkler system. But this year, my friends, things got interesting.
How Much Rain Has San Diego Gotten This Year |
We Officially Drowned the Average Rainfall...Maybe
That's right! As of June 30th, San Diego International Airport has recorded a whopping 10.31 inches of rain. That's more than the average yearly rainfall of 9.79 inches! So does this mean the weather gods finally got tired of our "it's a dry heat" jokes? Maybe. Maybe not. Remember, San Diego weather is like a moody teenager: unpredictable and prone to dramatic shifts in personality.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
But Wait, There's More (Because Rain in San Diego is Like That Too)
Here's the thing: while some parts of the city are rejoicing (or at least, their plants are), others are still waiting for their share of the liquid sunshine. Apparently, rain clouds have a thing for playing favorites. Don't worry, Ramona and Carlsbad, your time will come...maybe.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
So, what does this all mean? Well, it means one thing for sure: San Diego, you officially dodged a rain-shadow bullet (although, let's be honest, you probably wouldn't mind a few more to fill those reservoirs).
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
