Fresno gets first rain since early June as ‘wet season' begins with thunderstorms
The storms that began early Wednesday and slated to continue into Thursday officially mark the start of the wet season — a welcome change, as Fresno has gotten just over half of its usual amount of annual rainfall so far this year. As of early Wednesday afternoon, the Fresno Yosemite International Airport recorded 0.6 inches of rain, said McClatchy meteorologist Sean Macaday. Similar amounts were recorded in Sanger, and Clovis recorded around 0.2 inches. Through the rest of Wednesday afternoon and into early Thursday, Macaday says the area can expect another 0.5 inches of rain, though it could be as much as double that. The rain will be mainly concentrated to this afternoon and is expected to be more sparse Thursday. So far in 2026, Macaday says Fresno has gotten 57% of its usual annual rainfall levels. Because the rain year calendar just began on Oct. 1, Macaday clarified he looked at the 2026 calendar year. This storm marks a shift to the beginning of the area’s “wet season.” Before Wednesday, Fresno hadn’t officially recorded any rainfall since June 1.
