alt Hacker NewsI had a joke that hit well: "California is in a drought? Who would have thought it doesn't rain in a desert."

I don't get it.
It does rain in deserts, of course. But most of California is not a desert anyway.

Are you under the impression that California as a whole is a desert?

It must only be funny to people who are unfamiliar with California’s climate.
It does rain in deserts, California isn't mostly desert (about 38% by land area), and drought is defined relative to normal rainfall, so even a place that usually has very low rainfall can have droughts.
