Santa Ana records driest March since Clinton presidency

From the O.C. Register’s Science Dude:

The Santa Ana Fire Station recorded only a trace amout of rain — or less than 0.100th of an inch — this month, making this the driest March since 1997, when Bill Clinton was serving his second term in office. That year, the city got 0.00” of rain. The driest March before that occurred in 1972, when Richard Nixon was president, says the National Weather Service. There is no rain in the forecast until next Monday, at the earliest.

Southern California received significant amounts of rain in November and February. But storms stopped dropping into the region after that, allowing most areas to fall behind in seasonal rainfall. And in some cases, the deficits are significant.
