Real-Time Rain Data

Curious how much rain you really got by your house?  Check out the awesome LA Department of Public Works Water Resources Precipitation Page.  The site provides a city-wide map with default totals from the last 24 hours, and options for viewing precipitation totals ranging from 1 hour to 96 hours.  There are also links to rain totals from the last 30 days or for an entire season, including comparisons to our seasonal averages to know how well we are doing this year.

The good news: near my house we got over 3 inches in the past 96 hours.  The better news: reports say that overall LA is back above average for the this time of year.  Be sure to conserve - let's not waste the great week!
