OT: Phoenix breaks record for rainless days?

Dawoofdaddy · Mar 7, 2006

A record 140 days now without rain.

I realize Phoenix is an arid region, but 140 days?

What was the previous record?

I dont know what the qualification for "rain" is here in the desert, but on weds I had a dozen sprinklets on my Dusty car (im not kidding) and that was it,,,, a cloudy day is a blessing to me here,,,

Maybe local weather people will report these sprinklets as rainfall amounts?

Any chance of Pinny hanging an O/U for future date of next official recorded rainfall?

Big deal, almost every year it doesn't rain from early April until early August here.

Bill,

What was the previous record?

Near the current record?

Have no idea, but just remember we average about 4 inches of rain a year here in Vegas. I know its almost unfathomable to people out in your parts where you get much more than that in single storms. Phoenix gets more rain than we do here, but only because of the summer monsoon.
