How did Northern California do at the end of the water year?<\/p>\n

\"Dirk<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s the end of another year, not the calendar year yet; but the end of the water year. <\/p>\n

The water year runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30 the following year. <\/p>\n

This 2025-2026 season saw a fair amount of water, with most spots in Northern California near normal or above normal for the amount of rain they received. <\/p>\n

Out of the official NWS sites monitored, Stockton came out on top with 1.69 inches of rain above what is average. <\/p>\n

Almost all of the sites did better than last year, with Redding being the only location that did not receive as much rain as last year.<\/p>\n
