Palm Springs Breaks Dry Spell With Rare Rainfall
6 Sep
Summary
- Palm Springs received its first measurable rainfall since February.
- A distant hurricane influenced the moisture that caused the rain.
- Hot, sunny weather is expected to return by midweek.
Palm Springs registered its first measurable rainfall in months on Sunday, September 6th, offering a brief respite from dry conditions. The Palm Springs International Airport recorded 0.01 inches of rain early Sunday morning, marking the initial measurable precipitation since mid-February.
This rainfall was attributed to an influx of moisture associated with a hurricane situated far off the California coast. Despite the hurricane's distance, it was close enough to influence weather patterns and bring light showers to the desert region. The cloudy conditions on Sunday helped keep temperatures below 100 degrees.
Looking ahead, the forecast for Palm Springs indicates a return to typical sunny and hot conditions. High temperatures are expected to reach 105 degrees on Tuesday and approach 110 degrees by Thursday. While summer has seen increased humidity, it remains uncertain if this rainfall will significantly alleviate it.
