When It Rains In SF - 2021 Precipitation
It rained yesterday in the Bay Area with strong wind. It does not rain often here, so I did not really prepare for that. This makes me think, how many days it actually rains here anually. Therefore, I collected 2021 daily precipitation data on weather.gov and visualized it today.
My Visualization
I plot the daily precipitation on a calendar view, with a bar chart on the side showing monthly total precipitation.
Please notice that all the visualizations are designed for desktop view, so it is recommended to view them on a desktop device.
Insights
- Overall it rained 67 days in 2021 (18% of the days), but only 15 days with precipitation over 0.5 inches, and 2 days over 1 inch;
- Looking at the 2021 data, most of the rainfall in SF happen in the winter (especially Oct to Dec) and barely it rains in summer.
