S.F. saw just 9 inches of rain this ‘water year.’ Here’s how that compares to normal
The water year has officially come to an end — and once again, the Bay Area has come up dry. How dry? The region received a little more than a third of normal precipitation from Oct. 1, 2020, to Sept. 30, 2021, according to data from the National Weather Service — a common occurrence for the past several years … A normal water year in San Francisco produces 23.65 inches of rain, but the city only saw 9.04 inches this past season. Santa Rosa received 13.01 inches for the water year, compared to the normal 36.28 inches, and San Jose recorded 5.32 inches, versus a normal 14.9 inches of rain.
