San Diego Rainfall Totals: How Much Has Fallen This Week?

SAN DIEGO, CA — This week pummeled Southern California with rain and wind, wreaking havoc on San Diego roads and homes.

During the most recent storm, most of San Diego saw between 0.25 and 2 inches of rain, with rain totals reaching up to 5 inches in San Diego's mountains near Orange and Riverside counties.

The California storms have proven deadly and devastating for California infrastructure. At least 19 people have died amid the intense storms, the Los Angeles Times reported. It's a number that is likely to grow, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom. These fatalities have been in Santa Cruz, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Tulare and more.

San Diego beaches were hit hard during the storm, with heavy winds generating 10-foot waves and beach erosion Tuesday, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

In Southern California, the rains blocked off and destroyed a number of roads. A sinkhole in Chatsworth consumed two cars, requiring a rescue effort Tuesday, and in Seal Beach, the storm damaged a portion of the pier. Some areas, like a region in San Bernardino County, were in shelter-in-place advisories and Montecito saw significant flooding and evacuations.

Most of Los Angeles County saw between 1-6 inches of rain over the last seven days, with some areas, like Topanga and Sepulveda Canyons, seeing nearly 8 inches.

Most of Orange County saw between 0.75 and 4 inches of rain over the last week, with the mountains near Riverside receiving around 4.05 inches over the past seven days.

Wednesday and Thursday offered a brief respite for Southern California before stormy weather was expected to return through the weekend.
