Something that the rest of the country refers to as “rain” may actually be heading to The Coachella Valley this week. The weather forecast says the rain should arrive Tuesday – with about 1/2 of rain possible by the time the storm leaves town.
Since you Desert Rats may have forgotten what “rain” is (it being a desert and all) – it is that wet stuff that falls from the sky once every 6 months or so. Other phenomena associated with rain in Palm Springs:
- Your Facebook feed will include nothing but pictures and videos of rain.
- No one will remember how to drive on wet roads (and you will be reminded that yes, it is possible for snow birds to somehow drive even worse).
- Locals will completely overdress in 9 layers and ski jackets (hey, I guess you have to find any excuse to wear it)
- The local media will get very, very weird.
- Streets will go from completely dry to completely flooded in 30 seconds (and only 10 drops of rain).
- Every hospitality worker will be burdened with hearing about how the one day of rain is completely ruining someone’s vacation.
- Someone will do this or this.
- Some asshole will repeat to everyone he talks to that “this does not mean the drought is over”.
Enjoy the rain Coachella Valley!
