YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Yuma isn’t used to this much rain, and while it’s a blessing to some, it’s a headache for others.
The rain was consistent throughout the day, not too heavy, but just enough to leave you dripping wet after a few minutes outside.
Some locals absolutely loved the rain, while others were concerned about what it could do to the art and to areas likely to flood.
“Being born and raised here, you know, rain is pretty rare. And, you know, especially getting to travel now that I’m older and experiencing other places have, you know, rain and seasons, being able to have that here just…super refreshing,” said Camille Castro, a Yuma resident.
“Yesterday, it was constant, all day, now it’s constant again, it’s like, ‘What? What’s going on?’ It’s a little worrying due to the climate of like, climate change and stuff,” said Jojo Copp, another Yuma resident.
While the rain was steady throughout the day, it has since cleared up, but officials urged drivers to stay safe and watch out for slick roads.
