It's only about 15". We have had approximately half as much rain as normal for this time of the year. I was off on the amount of rain we are behind. It’s only about 15″.

Usually the rainy season starts around the end of September, but this year we will have to wait a while longer, it seems. Generally the trend over the last few years (according to meteorologists in our area) seems to have been that exceptionally hot temperatures (over 90 F) have been recorded more and more often and and for longer periods at a stretch. And this in a area still under the influence of the cooler breeze from the ocean; in the Valley temperatures are generally about 10 F higher than here. So yes, we do have water problems and the water police is out and about to check whether people are complying with watering regulations.

That is gorgeous. We have been having nice weather for a change. Down about 59 at night, up to around 90 in the day. Cool for this time of year here. It was wonderful in Columbus. Low 50s at night, mid to high 70s in the day. That's unusually hot for your area, isn't it? We are something like 21" behind in rain for the year. Everything is parched and brown.
