The Great Indy Drizzle of '24: A Meteorological Snoozefest (But We Got You Covered)
Ah, Indianapolis. The Circle City, home of the Indy 500, delicious tenderloin sandwiches, and...well, yesterday's weather wasn't exactly setting the world on fire (or causing any flash floods).
That's right, folks. We're talking about a sprinkle situation, a mist-erious event (get it? Mist-erious? I'll be here all week!), a drizzle so light it would make a cloud cry.
But hey, curiosity is a beautiful thing (and sometimes you just need an excuse to avoid mowing the lawn), so let's get down to the nitty-gritty.

| How Much Rain Fell In Indianapolis Yesterday |
How Much Rain Did We Actually Get?
Brace yourselves, weather nerds (and anyone who lost a bet on a downpour): we're talking a measly 0.02 inches. That's about as thick as a sheet of paper you accidentally left in the rain for a nanosecond.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
In other words, you probably wouldn't even need an umbrella. A well-placed leaf could have done the trick.
Did Anyone Even Notice?
Honestly, it's a toss-up. Maybe the squirrels took cover for a hot minute. Maybe the pigeons huddled together for warmth (it was a cool 66 degrees, brrr). But for the most part, life in Indy carried on as usual.
Except for the weatherman. He's probably still salty about having to write "light rain" in the forecast.
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
The Takeaway: A Day for Other Pursuits
Look, yesterday's rain was about as exciting as watching paint dry. But hey, at least it wasn't a blizzard, right? So here are some ideas for what you could have done with all that saved-from-umbrella-holding time:
- Binge-watch that show you've been putting off.
- Perfect your charcuterie board skills.
- Learn how to juggle flaming chainsaws (not recommended, but hey, it's your free time).
The possibilities are endless!
