Yes, absolutely, overall anyway. Southern California is a desert climate.....drainage is a problem, as when it rains hard (and it does, in my memory, during Jan and Feb and maybe December once in a while and that's mostly it).... there is routinely minor, and sometimes major, flooding as the hard packed, sandy-type soil doesn't really absorb much...
Though California, being so large, has some subclimates, I think, so maybe San Francisco, etc., has average to high rainy days. I think different pictures are painted depending on whether you look at # of days a year or average inches of rain...frequency vs. quanity, or something like that....here seems we have a good dose of both.
BTW, it's raining :-) But the sun is also out, so...go figure!!
