<p>someone told me it never rains down in the OC</p>
<p>Lies lies lies.</p>
<p>It rains just as much in the OC as anywhere else in SoCal.</p>
<p>I think it might be physically impossible for it not to rain in the OC because of its proximity to the water.</p>
<p>“It rains just as much in the OC as anywhere else in SoCal.”</p>
<p>i.e., it never rains in the OC =P</p>
<p>Rain is pretty infrequent, though. I imagine it’s the same here as anywhere else along the coast in southern california. Heh, I remember when I was a kid, everyone would stop and look out the window on the rare occasion that it actually rained.</p>
<p>I’m from Norcal, and I’m seriously going to miss the rainy, cold winters! Sadface…at least every other season is better…</p>
<p>it probably rains only 1-3 times a month, and thats during the winter season…otherwise, it never rains in the other seasons.</p>
<p>i love socal weather.</p>
<p>Winter? What winter? We don’t really have anything I would call winter, to be perfectly honest. It might get a little chilly on occasion. There might even be a super light layer for frost on the grass in the morning that melts in an instant. I don’t think I’d really call it winter, though. It does get a little cold, though, relatively speaking, and it sure FEELS cold, since you’re so used to it being mild-warm all year round. Actually quite nice, unless you like winter =P</p>
<p>2 years ago, there was more rainfall in a month than there had been in the previous year. There can be rain in the OC. and when it did rain, it rained a lot, and everything flooded. it sucked.</p>
<p>That was a record amount of rainfall. In San Diego, I think it was the second highest amount of rainfall in a season since they’ve been keeping records. That was by far the exception.</p>
<p>There can be some flooding, though. I’ve never really noticed any worth mentioning (except one year when a low bridge was washed out, but that was also an unusually rainy year, and there had been a lot of rain in the mountains, which caused the river to actually become a river, since it’s usualy more of a creek, if that). What can get really bad are the freeways. They don’t drain very well, and some lanes just become plain undriveable when there’s heavy rain. It’s not a very common thing, though.</p>
<p>btw, if anyone’s wondering, I think the record for rainfall in San Diego is like 38in in a year. Average for some other places, like say NYC, is 35 a year. Average in SD is like, I dunno, 9in? Relatively speaking, it’s pretty much rain free, but it DOES rain. Just not often.</p>
