We almost never get rain around here which is a plus and a minus (if you are trying to grow plants!)
The upside is that you can leave stuff sitting outside for a long time. But when it does rain, it seems to go nuts for a day or 2. Earlier this year we had an insane amount of rain. I believe they said it hadn't rained so much in 100 years! But since then hardly a single drop.
