Good drizzly morning Southern California. Lots of reports of drizzle and light rain this morning. Mostly under a tenth of an inch but as high as 0.15" in southern Santa Barbara County. Here's a list of rainfall amounts up to 7am this morning: https://t.co/rmhvqyWLYD #LARain #CAwx

This day in history
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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
