The number represents the percentage of normal seasonal rainfall that has fallen so far during this year’s rainy season. (Figures courtesy of San Francisco Chronicle)<br /><br />"Bakersfield: 16.7%<br /><br />"Eureka: 12.5%<br /><br />"Los Angeles: 6.4%<br /><br />"Oakland: 7.7%<br /><br />"Sacramento: 8.6%<br /><br />"San Diego: 21.7%<br /><br />"San Francisco: 8.7%<br /><br />"San Jose: 9.8%<br /><br />"Santa Rosa: 6.2%<br /><br />"Napa City, meanwhile, had only 22.7% of its normal yearly precipitation average, according to the Napa Valley Register, making 2013 'the driest year since reliable records started being kept nearly a century ago in Napa.' <br /><br />"Granted, the 2013-2014 rainy season still has many months to go.
