California's 2016 water year ended Friday with a fifth consecutive dry year of low snowfall, according to the Department of Water Resources.
The National Weather Service reports above-average rainfall in some communities, and close to average elsewhere:
Monterey 119 percent
Santa Cruz 104 percent
Livermore 101 percent
San Francisco 98 percent
San Jose 94 percent
Tahoe City 93 percent
Santa Rosa 89 percent
Napa 88 percent
Oakland 87 percent
But Southern California missed out on the El Nino bounty, dragging down the statewide average.
San Diego Airport 76 percent
Big Bear Lake 73 percent
Los Angeles, Airport 57 percent
Palm Springs 54 percent
Ojai 50 percent
Los Angeles, Downtown 46 percent
Long Beach 41 percent
Santa Ana 38 percent
The state has made saving water a permanent fixture in California.
