On Saturday, 11 March 2006, Tempe got measurable rain for the first time since 18 October 2005. Tempe went 143 consecutive days without any measurable rain. Tempe went a full four months with no rain (Nov-05, Dec-05, Jan-06, Feb-06).
It rained all day on Saturday, 11 March 2006. For the entire day, Tempe received over an inch of gentle rain.
Sometimes the rain causes Optimist Park to become a lake park complete with ducks. { another view}
The next day on Sunday morning, the park was covered by blue skies and a couple ducks were still around.
