| episode_narrative | As indicated in the December 1999 report, Interior Central California had the 3rd driest start of its water year on record based on Fresno records. With the rain from mid-to-late January, rain again returned on February 9th to Central California and remained through the end of February onto March 8th. The amount of rain that occurred in Fresno during the 52-day period from January 15th through March 8th, exceeded the yearly rainfall (10.60") for only the 2nd time in history (having occurred previously in a benchmark water year of 1969). The key to this water-year recovery was the record-setting rainfall for February where Fresno received 6.11" eclipsing the old 28-day February record of 5.97" set in 1962. This unusual recovery from near-drought to normal water-year rain/snow brought sufficient water supplies for the upcoming, typical summer drought. |
