I often wondered where you guys get your water from if it never rains.
(well so says the song if you are old enough to remember).
There are many places in Aus that have similar
flying weather, unfortunately they are just not where I live,
(near Melbourne where we are known for having 4 seasons in one day!)

Mostly from resevours in the mountains, and sometimes from rivers that come
from the mountains.

The thing that hurts most of California's water supply, is when it does not
snow in the winter. The snow melt is what refills the resevours.

I live in Italy and we have a similarly low rainfall. We get all our
water from snow on the local mountain. It's sort of convenient that the
areas that have low rainfall often have a 12,000 ft mountain in the
backyard.

It also makes for interesting flying.

And that's the reason so many of us recommend our students NOT to come to
you Andy! They learn to fly in great Wx and then get flummoxed by our
weather - as so many of your airmen have in the past! Flying over here's
not so bad, great cloudscapes, lovely sunsets and sunrises, rainbows, the
changing scene beneath your wheels, and not too much of that pesky bright
stuff getting in yer eyes all the time.

Enjoy your weather and sunshine...give me the bracing north wind any
day...brrrr. <walks off in huff.>
