A rare summer storm sprinkled Long Beach with rain overnight, dropping about 0.03 of an inch of precipitation, according to the National Weather Service.

The bulk of the rain fell between 4 and 5 a.m., but there is a chance of more showers and even thunder throughout the rest of the day, according to the NWS.

Although 0.03 of an inch may not seem like a lot of rain, it was for this time of year. Long Beach averages only 0.05 for the entire month of July.

Other areas of parched Southern California got even more monsoonal moisture Monday.

The precipitation ranged from drizzle to heavy rain, and the NWS issued flood watches and warnings for various areas as thunderstorms moved through.

The rainfall was a stark contrast to the ongoing weather trend in a region locked in drought.

“If you’ve been hearing the pitter patter of rain on your roof, you’re not dreaming!” the San Diego weather office tweeted.
