Interviewer: Good afternoon, Dr. Hartman. Thank you for joining us today to discuss the recent rainfall in San Diego County.

Dr. Emily Hartman: Thank you for having me. It’s always a pleasure to talk about our local weather.

Interviewer: San Diego County received rain overnight into Friday morning, particularly in areas away from the coast. What factors contributed to this rainfall?

Dr. Emily Hartman: The recent rain can be attributed to a low-pressure system that moved down from the north. This system brought moisture from the Pacific, leading to precipitation primarily in the inland areas, where the terrain played a role in lifting the air and allowing rain to fall.

It helps replenish groundwater supplies and supports agriculture in the region, which is crucial for our local economy.
