I guess you don't want a lot rain north of San Fran. If much rain came this late in the season, it would dilute the sugars in the wine grapes in Napa Valley. Our son, wife, and grandkids lived in Tracy for a lot of years. They didn't seem to get much rain ever. I seem to remember some severe flooding on the Sacramento river a couple of years ago.soil wrote:damn and we haven't had rain since may.

I think we had more rain this July than usual, or maybe it was close to average. All I know is that our lawns are bright green still, and the last three years, they would be dry and brown by the end of June. Then again we had some severe drought years between 2007-2009.
As far as global warming is concerned,our temps fluctuate so much between clippers and non clipper weather. We could have something mild, then all of a sudden drop way below the average temp. This year spring started earlier (no severe Alberta clippers during March and April), but we had a May frost which was quite rare.
