we get hammered with storms every 3-4 days in summer so its fine, but right now for instance, we're still 85 degrees down here and we've gone over a month with no rain so i'm running the irrigation every other day now. sucks but its saving our ass.
If you get a RainMachine, or something of that nature, as a controller it will only water according to the rainfall (i.e. if it predicts rain later in the day it will not run and/or if it predicts some rain later it will water less than normal). Pretty neat, saved a bunch at my mom's house in water.
