California's winter brought lower than average rainfall initially, but February's storms drastically improved conditions. Key areas like Northern California saw 12.32 inches of rain since October, contrasting the previous year's figures. Meteorologists like Eric Kurth note the significance of late-season precipitation. Southern California, however, faced a dry winter, impacting fire conditions, evidenced by the Palisades Fire. As experts predict spring outcomes, the state's water year and its implications become critical in addressing drought and wildfire risks.
When we're above normal for one of our latter months, like March, that's significant, said meteorologist Eric Kurth, highlighting the importance of late-winter rainfall in California.
Southern California was super dry with almost no rain for December and January, contributing significantly to the Palisades Fire and other wildfires in Los Angeles County.
