Please, some rain. And not the six-inch rain we had yesterday and then again last night in parts of town — a drop every six inches.
So far in 2006 there has been measurable precipitation in Albuquerque just 11 times (including yesterday’s two occurences) for a grand total of 44/100ths of one inch. Seven of the eleven times the moisture was just two-hundredths of an inch or less. That’s not enough to do more than put rainspots on your car.
The humidity is in the thirties this morning. The dewpoint above 50. The monsoons are coming.
We got measurable rain here yesterday for the second time in a month. I didn’t have to water the flower beds: hurrah. (I refuse to water anything else since we live in what is close to desert.)
