The National Weather Service in Hanford said Tuesday that it doesn’t see rain in the Fresno forecast for the next two weeks.
In a tweet, NWS-Hanford also included a chart of the eight latest “wet season” dates for the first Fresno rainfall. The service defines the wet season as Oct. 1 to May 1 of the following year.

What is the longest Fresnans have waited for the first rain?
Back in 1995, the first recorded rain measuring at least 0.01 inches didn’t arrive until two weeks before Christmas — Dec. 11.
“Based on current forecasts, we might see (the record fall) this year, or at least in the top five,” tweeted NWS-Hanford.
The 2019-20 wet season already has cracked the top 10 latest arrivals of rain. As of Thursday, it was tied for the No. 8 spot.

Late Rains Don’t Always Result in Dry Season
As the weather service pointed out, blue skies and temperatures in the 80s during November — as we are enjoying now — don’t necessarily auger a dry winter and spring.
“Following up on the previous post about late starts to precipitation in the fall, we dug a little deeper to see how the late starts affected the wet season total. We found quite a mixture of above, below and near normal totals,” NWS-Hanford tweeted Wednesday.
For the record, Fresno averages 11.50 inches of rain a year.
