Much of California is off to a very good start for its rain season totals, and the Coachella Valley has received it share of much needed rain also. After a very parched season last year, this season has started off quite well. Palm Springs stands at 3.02 inches since July 1st. That’s 177% of normal! If we look at Palm Springs’s seasonal average of 5.23 inches of rain, it has received 60% of that already and we still have January and February around the corner which tend to be the wettest months of the year.
