We have a weather station in our yard on Playa la Ropa, near the dolphins. To date, since it started in May, we have had just over 16 inches. Very low. Last season we had 35 inches, the year before, 65.

To follow our weather station, go to weatherlink.com and do the free registration. Then search for Casa 4 Vientos. That will keep you current.

Thank you Talley, from past experiences living in Zi I know this was not normal, but did not realize just how bad things are. After living in CA off & on over the years I've learned to not only conserve but to reuse water for my plants... worth repeating "if it is yellow let it mellow, if brown flush it down? Hope you do not mind if I take your info and do a little sharing.

The Servicio Meteorológico Nacional keeps track of total rainfall on their website.

Yes, we're way below average, but this was predicted by the SMN due to the El Niño event.

You'll find lots of weather stuff on my WEATHER page.

Personal call.

After living so happily with my partner, we, in Califiornia, decided on, if there are two pieces of toilet paper in the basin, flush. If there are solids, flush.

Together for 47+ years, it works for us especially here.

Life couldn't be better!

It's considered one storm, and currently raining and over 10.5 inches. Rainfall this season is over 28.5 inches. Better, but still really low.

I don't want to start a fight. I like the rain but can anyone tell me how much longer this is going to go on?

For that kind of information, we use weatherunderground. It seems to be the most reliable source that we have found.
