Southern California is known for its sunny weather; however, this is not the case for the rest of California. In some parts of California, areas receive 0-5 inches of rain from 1961-1990, while others areas received more than 70 inches of rain. The two colors that stand out are the color red, which distinguishes areas with little to no rainfall, and blue where rain can accumulate over a vast period of time. What I found interesting about the map, it shows different climates in southern California. For example, Los Angeles County has three major distinctions. One, near the Pacific Ocean is represented by a light orange color (Mediterrenean climate), then it goes into a light green near the San Gabriel Mountains (perfect for snowboarding conditions), follow by red for the desert region.
