Annual rainfall in Menlo Park for 2024-2025

Long-time InMenlo weather watcher Bill Russ always said that 20 inches made for a good rain year in Menlo Park. He would have been disappointed this past season.

Current weather watcher Dennis Nugent reported that just 16.84″ fell between September 30, 2024 and October 1, 2025.

That is considerably lower than the 39.48″ that was recorded in the prior rain year.

One thing we’ve noticed is that long relatively skinny Menlo Park receives different amounts of rain. So your readings may not be the same, especially for areas in the eastern part of the city.
