Update: On 6/6/2010 we suffered a second failure of our older Flood Warning System computer. The older system has few available replacement parts so we decided after the last failure in March that we would convert over to a newer system. Unfortunately the older static map will not be moved to the newer system so these products have been discontinued. We do have the data that were available on those products available through the Google Maps and VCAHPS pages. We are still working to restore the remaining text products.
Latest Ventura County Rainfall Media Report
This report contains the current totals and percent of normal for official observation stations in Ventura County. This report is only updated when rain is reported in the metropolitan area of Ventura County.
Current Rainfall / Weather / Ocean Temperature Note: This is a new Google Maps Interface that allows for us to display more information than we could before. This interface also allows for 5 minute updates for all datasets. This product has replaced the static rain and weather maps. We welcome your feedback on the new Google Maps Interface. Please send your comments to HydroData@ventura.org.
Warning: This system contains automated rain gages from Ventura County and surrounding counties. These gages send a radio transmission when enough rain has fallen to "tip" the bucket. The amount varies from 0.01 in to 0.04 in (1mm). The ALERT network also receives data via the GOES Satellite. The satellite data comes from other organizations other than Ventura County Watershed Protection District. Data from the Satellite consists of USGS Stream Gages, RAWS (Remote Automated Weather Stations), and other Automated Rain Gages. Satellite data is transmitted on a regular basis due to bandwidth limitations on the satellite. This means that data can be delayed up to 4 hours and no reports sooner than 1 hour. Since the data is automated, errors due to transmission is possible. The data available on this web site is provisional and has not been checked or verified for accuracy. These maps and reports were created solely for the convenience of the County and related public agencies. The County does not warrant the accuracy of these maps and reports, and no decision involving a risk of economic loss or physical injury should be made from the data available on this site.
