On this day in 1972, SoCal residents faced rainy weather as well — so much so that the Padres’ home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates was rained out on June 5 and 6.

Things to do

All this potentially wet and gloomy weather this week could lead to a few ideas for a good indoor excursion, such as:

• Comedy at The Bourbon Room: On Tuesday, watch two comedy shows that support two nonprofits, Stand Up for Pits and Sharing Love with Others. Wax Poetics, hosted by comedian and producer Keida Mascaro, is headlined by Iliza Shlesinger. I’m a Basshole is a hybrid storytelling/standup show hosted by Doug Bass and features headliner Tom Arnold.
