Wretched Rainy Season Continues

The complete failure of the California rainy season continues. Rainfall in Sacramento is 37% of normal, and falling. The current rainy season is the third-worst on record at Sacramento Executive Airport (recording since 1948; only 1975-76 and 1976-77 were worse). At the downtown Sacramento site, it's the 8th worst of 144 seasons, on a par with the wretched 1932-33 rainy season: Happy Days Are Here Again! 

California's problems are widely shared, though. The entire Southwest is in deep trouble.
