Los Angeles: Where the Sun Shines and Rain Takes a Vacation
Los Angeles, the city of dreams, sunshine, and celebrity sightings. It’s a place where people wear sunglasses indoors and salads cost more than your rent. But let’s talk about something a little less glamorous: rain. Or rather, the lack of rain.

Rain? What’s That?
If you're planning a move to LA, ditch the umbrella. You'll need more space for sunglasses and surfboard wax. Rain here is like a rare exotic bird - everyone talks about it, but few have actually seen it. It's a city where the biggest puddle is likely to be caused by a leaking sprinkler.
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
The Numbers Game
So, how much rain does LA actually get? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly Seattle. The average annual rainfall is around 15 inches. To put that into perspective, that's about as much excitement as a Kardashian’s reaction to a salad.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
But don’t be fooled by the low average. LA weather is as unpredictable as a reality TV star’s mood. You could go months without a drop, then suddenly, the heavens open up and it rains cats and dogs (or at least, the equivalent of cats and dogs in LA – probably a few stray palm fronds and a lost celebrity).

Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
- Invest in a raincoat: This is a fashion statement, not a necessity.
