Light rain in San Jose brings no drought relief

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- Rain made an appearance in San Jose on Wednesday morning. The wet weather dampened the morning commute with consistent showers lasting through 8 a.m.

But don't expect people to be bummed out, especially after a long stretch of dry weather.

"I love it. I love the rain. Loving the weather, walking like that, no umbrellas," Daniel Rocha of San Jose said.

The rain won't have much of an impact on the drought conditions in the Bay Area.

The Santa Clara Valley Water District extended its resolution calling for a 20 percent water use reduction through June of this year. People are conserving, especially when you compare this year to last year. But time will tell if it will be enough.

So, when the rain came down Wednesday, it was figuratively a ray of sunshine.

"We need the rain. Me coming into Santa Cruz, I see how Lexington Reservoir has decreased and now it's going back up. It's a good thing. Positive," Maria Garcia of San Jose said.

The latest water report shows local storage in Santa Clara County is 75 percent of normal for this time of the year.
