"Pretty much all of the time" is a uniquely Southern California expression which roughly translates to "two or three times in just one week, dear God what is happening, we are all going to die!!!" The three exclamation points are a Southern California thing, too. (As I understand it, San Franciscans experience a similar sense of impending doom when they have an entire week of continuous sunlight.)

It's Raining!!!
To the dear family that recently spent several days in shorts and swimming trunks riding boogie boards in the warm California sun, I thought you would like to know what has been happening since you left for home. We have had rain, pretty much all of the time.

Raining here in silicon valley too, off and on, with some amazing cloudbursts, and temps in the lowest 40s.
Thank whatever gods there be -- a hundred-year drought would challenge us, and actual climate change -- a millenial drought, an epochal drought -- would eventually have to drive people off the land.
So maybe climate change will leave abundant rainfall in northern California's winter. Maybe it won't. We'd better hope and pray that it does.
