It just rained on Thursday morning on my way to work and was actually coming down enough for me to keep my wipers on steady. It was the first time I had to close my sunroof while driving in months.

Personally I'm enjoying it. Biking to work every day, with no rain to make things more complicated. If it rains I'll most likely take the light rail/walk (with an umbrella), though I could bike anyway.

There's a chance of some rain later this week, I suspect just showery, though freak events do occasionally occur in late September.

Most years though, rain chances around here don't meaningfully increase until October, especially later in the month.

We should all be hoping for an incredibly wet winter. The drought has become absolutely devastating. If we have a relatively dry winter we can start expecting serious ecological implications and water restrictions that become increasingly impactful to daily life.

We had a short intense period of rain here last week. Lasted maybe 30 minutes, high winds in excess of 50mph. Dozens of trees down, many of them old mature trees in the neighborhood that can't be replaced. Didn't make a dent in the drought of course. Back to the bone dry rainless days again.

Over here (West San Jose) the weather has predicted that it would rain quite a number of times already now, but it just hasn't happened.

I think it's a great idea. As for any concern that it would not be safe to drink, after all the filtering:
