Pasadena
March 2024 Rainfall-to-Date

Reporting for this station is not at consistent intervals and almost never on a daily basis. Reports for this station commonly come out in a single monthly batch, about six or more days after the end of the month. In some months (again, inconsistently), updates for Pasadena come through in batches, perhaps two or three times during the month. We update this page as soon as these updates come through. As an alternative, the nearest weather station with the closest similar micro-climate would be at Santa Fe Dam, about ten miles southeast of Downtown Pasadena, in the San Gabriel Valley. We post this station's daily and hourly reports.
