Rain in Phoenix! Our 159-day dry streak is finally over.
Missed it by a day: Why has the 52-year-old record for no rain in Phoenix lasted so long?
The streak ended just one day shy of tying the current record of 160 days without measurable rain in Phoenix, a record set in 1972. And it's still dry. With the .01 of an inch recorded Wednesday, Phoenix is still 2.68 inches below average since Oct. 1, the start of the water year.

PHOENIX — Today was going to tie the record for longest dry streak in Phoenix, but a tenth of an inch of rain was all it took to stop that from happening. Wednesday would have been the 160th day without rain, tying the 160-day record set in 1972. However, Sky Harbor Airport, our official monitoring site, recorded 0.1" of rainfall around 9 a.m.
