For precipitation data, I suggest you visit: http://www.meteochile.gob.cl/precipitacion.html Note that La Serena, on the coast, is running 248% of normal year-to-date, and has already exceeded the normal full-year. Antofagasta, on the coast, is running >500% of normal year-to-date, and has already exceeded the normal full-year. (In contrast, central Chile is getting much less than normal rainfall year-to-date.)
