Rain, Rain, Go Away… Or Stay?
You might be thinking, "Rain in LA? Are you kidding me?" Well, sunshine enthusiast, LA does get rain. It's just that it tends to have a short-term memory like a goldfish and forgets to show up most of the year. When it does decide to grace us with its presence, it's often a dramatic affair complete with thunder, lightning, and enough water to fill a small lake (okay, maybe not that much, but it feels like it).

How Much Rain is Too Much Rain?
So, how much rain has actually fallen on LA? Well, that depends on the year. Some years, it's like a desert mirage – you think you see rain, but it's just a trick of the light. Other years, it's more like a monsoon, and you start to question your life choices of moving to a place where you need an umbrella.
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.

Generally speaking, LA averages around 15 inches of rain per year. But don't be fooled by that number. It's not evenly distributed. Most of the rain falls between November and March, with the occasional April shower thrown in for good measure. The rest of the year? It's basically a cosmic joke.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
So, Should I Invest in an Umbrella?
Probably not. But hey, if it makes you feel better, go for it. Just remember, you'll probably only use it a handful of times a year. And when you do, you'll be the envy of everyone else who's caught in the downpour without one.
