LOS ANGELES (KABC) — After more than a month without rain, this week’s storms doused Southern California, but how much rain did we get?
When it comes to rainfall totals for the season, the region is still ahead of the game, even after that long dry stretch that ended with rain returning earlier this week.
We reviewed rainfall totals measured from Oct. 1, the start of the water year, through Feb. 11 – just before the latest round of storms began.
After the dry spell, we still were close to about 15 inches altogether for downtown Los Angeles and just over 10 inches for LAX.
In Woodland Hills, almost 19 inches of rain was recorded.
All three locations remained well above normal for the October-to-February period, with most areas also exceeding typical seasonal totals.
Some exceptions remain, including LAX, which is still a little ways away.
Anywhere that may not have been above that, we are now close – or maybe have exceeded that – or got to normal for this time of year.
We also looked at rain totals for the last three days, which brought anywhere from an extra 1 to 2 inches of rain, getting closer to 3 for some areas.
A series of storms that swept through Southern California left several areas with more than an inch of rain over several days.
Downtown Los Angeles recorded a little over 2.5 inches, according to data obtained Wednesday morning. LAX recorded just over 2 inches while Woodland Hills collected close to 2 inches. Van Nuys measured just over two and three quarters.
Higher elevations also saw notable precipitation.
Mount Wilson recorded rainfall before the system transitioned to snow, which impacted the final rain tally.
In the high desert, Lancaster picked up close to an inch.
