“If you noticed the rain pounding your rooftop with a bit more gusto on March 10, well that wasn’t rain, it was hail,” Weston shared. “The hail accumulated on grassy yards and even hung around for a bit as the temperature was cold.”
March 10 saw .82 inches of precipitation, Weston reported, followed by .18 inches of rain on March 15. The yearly total, measured from July 1, 2020, to June 30, stands at 4.46 inches.
“The average rainfall in Los Angeles is 14.93 inches, so we are running far behind with our rainy season quickly coming to an end,” Weston added.
Wind gusts in town reached 26 mph on March 9.
“The high temperature for this month was 77 degrees and our low temperature, so far, has come in at 39 degrees,” Weston concluded.
