You can seed the clouds. You can do a rain dance. But the only surefire way to bring rain is to wash your car. Which I did today. Tonight a gentle rain is falling*. It’s not much, but then when it is only the 13th day out of the past 156 with measurable precipitation, it’s nice. As of an hour ago Albuquerque had recorded 1.10 inches of precipitation since March 25th. (By comparison, that’s just a bit more than the Washington, DC, area had Tuesday!)
*My car sleeps indoors. It was rained on when it was out and about this evening.
