How Much Rain Did Orange County Get In Monday's Storm

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — Monday's rain produced record results across southwest California on Monday.

While Southern California wasn’t clobbered like Northern and Central California – where a Category 5 atmospheric river and bomb cyclone brought flash floods, power outages, evacuation orders, highway closures, and much more – the NWS still issued a flood advisory across Los Angeles County Monday, and several records were set.

Orange County's rainfall measured from almost three-quarters of an inch in Coto De Caza, at 730 feet elevation, to just over a tenth of an inch in Laguna Beach on Monday.

The largest amount of rain fell at the highest elevations, on Santiago Peak with 1.38 inches of rain at 5660 feet elevation. Upper Silverado Canyon saw 1.02 inches of rain, and Holy Jim Canyon also saw nearly an inch of rain.

In Los Angeles, a record rainfall of 0.13 inches was set at Long Beach Airport, breaking the old daily record of 0.08 inches set in 2010.

Other daily record rainfall was recorded at Camarillo Airport (0.7 inches breaking old record of 0.39 inches set in 1940), Los Angeles International Airport (0.39 inches breaking old record of 0.19 inches set in 1951), Paso Robles Airport (1.54 inches breaking old record of 0.18 inches set in 1950), and Santa Maria Airport (1.28 inches breaking old record of 0.3 inches set in 1951).
