Here too!  Approx 200mm over a 4 day period Thursday to Sunday

Enough to put out most of the fires that have been burning for months.  In a
cruel twist, some towns that were suffering from the fires now have to deal with
flooding.

I believe the latitudes between 25.5°N and 25.5°S are considered tropical, while 
latitudes between 25.5°N and 40°N (25.5°S - 40°S) are sub-tropical.


The closer you are to the coast of a large ocean the more the sub-tropical 
weather stretchs north or south (or for that matter tropical weather).

I believe they got it in a couple of weeks recently with devastating results 
for the farmers.

I remember looking at some of the totals, upwards of 150-200mm rain 
consistently every day.

Note the scale on these comparison photos...

Not usually
http://www.slvwd.com/_boulder.htm

That would be about 78 inches, we did get that a couple years ago. We're over a 
meter so  far for this season. 
I did see one year that was 111 inches which would be about 290 cm.

As to where it goes... Through my back yard. I live on the San Lorenzo River.

Re: OT: It rained!

You get almost 2000mm in a year? Where does it all go? Our average is 
530mm/a which is why 52mm seems such a big event. After another 38mm 
last night & a bit in between we have had a total of 110mm in 4 days. A 
bit of run off is now evident & the local streams are starting to flow.

-33ºC this morning. It's been 3 weeks since this cold snap started. I

I'm impressed, that's a bit more than an average year for us.  I can't imagine 
what it would be like to get that in a day.

The point is, if it was raining, it wouldn't be -33. It turns out we 
have had, already, the coldest February on record with 9 days not 
getting above -20C, and apparently, no end in sight.





Well, look at it this way. A good cold, COLD winter almost always means 
less problems with fleas next summer. A bit of aggravation for you right 
now, but a bit less for your four legged friends later.




We don't have problems with fleas here, but ticks and wasps are, and the 
cold definitely slows them down.

Don't be silly, it'll be less than two weeks until the end of the coldest 
February on record.

We'd be swimming if we had that much in one shot. The forecast is 
continuous light rain until Sunday lunchtime. They had a lot more 
further N in Musina (Limpopo "valley") & S Zimbabwe so probably the 
Limpopo will soon be in flood.

Re: OT: It rained!

[Daniel J. Matyola]

And here on Maui, where I am currently vacationing, we have had snow!
Admittedly the snow is on the mountain, mostly at 10,000 ft asl, but it did
reach as low as the 6800 ft level, which is highly unusual.  Where we are,
near the beach, this "winter storm" has produced "chilly weather," with
highs only in the mid to upper 70s F and lows dropping to the mid to low
60s.  In the sun, it is always warm, and the showers are few and far
between.  Still. Maui has made the national news with the snow in paradise
angle.
