Did it Rain at All? Spoiler Alert: Not Exactly
Here's the truth, delivered faster than you can say "drought": as of July 20th, 2024, Fresno has received a whopping zero inches of rain for the year. That's right, folks. We're talking about drier than a basket of Fresno raisins under a heat lamp.
Now, before you start prepping for an apocalypse, there is a tinyyyy caveat. Some weather data sources show trace amounts in the winter months, but let's be honest, that's more like a rogue sprinkler malfunction than actual rain.
But Wait, There's More (or Rather, Less)
So, why the lack of rain? Well, that's a question for the weather gods (or perhaps a meteorologist). But let's just say the current weather patterns haven't exactly been in Fresno's favor.
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
Here's a fun fact: According to some reports, Fresno is currently beating its record for the driest start to a year. Hold onto your hats (or should I say, hold onto your tumbleweeds?) because that's one record we probably didn't want to break.
Is There Any Hope for Rain?
Fear not, Fresno folks! There's always a chance things could change. Fall and winter are typically when we see more precipitation. But hey, who are we kidding? It's Fresno. We might as well break out the sunscreen and pool floats for the foreseeable future.
