It'll never end

The ".08" showing in the RAIN section of the weather gauge isn't from today--it's for the ENTIRE year. We didn't have much precip in the three months before that either.

Yes, of course it's a desert. We're at the northern end of the Chihuahuan desert. We get about 9 inches of precip a year. "Normally" that is. This is the driest year on record since records started in 1890 and HAS been for over two months.

If the monsoon is ever going to come, it won't be too soon for me. Sure, the low humidities are all well and good, but really, this is a serious drought.

It's really bad down here. June is supposed to be the rainy season, and I've heard that there are supposed to be torrential rains every day. It's rained twice, both times a short sprinkle. The farmers in the rural communities are surely suffering. Someone told me that Albuquerque's monsoon is part of the same monsoon pattern that should be drenching Guanajuato. It ain't, so I don't hold out much hope for anything getting to Albuquerque.

Officially, the monsoon season has started - where's the rain?
