Phoenix's 58-day dry streak ends!
It rained! Around 7:35 pm on December 9th, the rain gauge at Phoenix Sky Harbor measured the first 0.01" since October 11th!
While this dry streak certainly felt like a long one, it is nowhere near the record, which stands at 160 days (no rain from December 30, 1971 through June 6, 1972).
As for rainfall totals with this past storm, Phoenix Sky Harbor officially picked up 0.35", bringing the yearly total to 5.93". The year-to-date average is 6.71", so we still have some work to do before the end of the year.
