OK, its not the time of the end…of the month, but since no rain will occur before the end of the month, thought I would give you a heads up on our latest summer rain, now having 41 years of data (thanks to the early reports by Our Garden down off Columbus and Stallion, a… Continue reading Looking back before the end (Catalina’s June-September rainfall)

August disappoints: a look back at a disappointing August, and then a look forward at haze
August rainfall total in Sutherland Heights: A measly 1.10 inches, to editorialize that bit, rather than to just report facts. Average August rain here is 3.16 inches. Egad. End of looking back….”What’s the Use” (Tuxedomoon) said it best, well, maybe. What about the haze? Where’s it coming from and its awful!

Quarter incher (updated; then updated some more with clickable images! You can read stuff now!)
Its not a McDonald’s product, but rather a reference to yesterday’s rain total here in the Sutherland Heights, but maybe there will be some extra blog “drive bys” of people looking to order a small meal… Yesterday’s 0.26 inches was only the second day in 39 years that measurable rain has fallen on June 10th… Continue reading Quarter incher (updated; then updated some more with clickable images!
