I can provide you with San Francisco's monthly rainfall totals dating
back to 1849 if you'd like that as an answer.

I'm not sure how inclusive it is of the entire Bay Area (which is
geographically huge) but it defintely applies to San Francisco.

Hello parmelia-ga,

I?ve found several sources for historical weather data for the San
Francisco Bay Area. The Climate Archives from the National Weather
Service are the most detailed and the Golden Gate Weather Services
site provides daily and monthly precipitation records for the period
you?re interested in. Please don't hesitate to ask for clarification
if any of this isn't clear.

Best wishes for your projects.

SAN FRANCISCO -- 2000-2001 Rainfall Season in Review

Graph -- Daily Rainfall vs. Normal
Chart -- Daily San Francisco 2000-2001 Rainfall

The 2000-2001 rainfall season in San Francisco, and much of northern
and central California, followed a below normal path similar to last
year through mid January with some parties even beginning to mention
the dreaded "D" word (i.e., drought).  But like last year, with clouds
opened up between mid January and early March.  This pushed San
Francisco's rainfall to slightly above normal but it then drifted to
slightly below where it stayed through the end of the season.  The
similarity may have been somewhat influenced by a weak La Niņa that
persisted through in the tropical Pacific despite  predictions last
summer of its demise.  And also like last year it was another case of
the expression that we get "normals" by "averaging the extremes".

WEATHER CORNER 
State's rainfall season ends with little snowpack, runoff

In the Bay Area, San Francisco and San Jose got 95 percent of their
normal amount of rain this past season. Sacramento and Fresno had 93
and 100 percent, respectively. In the south, Los Angeles had 121
percent of normal rainfall and San Diego had 87 percent for the
season. All of these are within the normal range, which is roughly
between 85 and 115 percent of the 30-year average.
