Also, the particularly arid climate during the summer prevents tropospheric clouds from forming, meaning temperatures rise to what is considered Class Orange by the scientists at NOAA. Rialto gets an average of 16 inches (41 cm) of rain, hail, or light snow showers each year; most of this rainfall percipitates in winter. During winter, Rialto's northern-most neighborhood, gets snow, heavily at times due to its elevation of about 3,000 feet above sea level. However, most of city lies out of snowfalls' range.The seasonal Santa Ana winds are felt particularly strongly in not only Rialto but the greater San Bernadino area as warm and dry air is channeled through nearby Cajon Pass at times during the autumn months.

Water controversy In the late 1990s, local water officials discovered perchlorate contamination in the city's drinking water supply that contained as much as 800 times the recommended limit according to safety recommendations issued in other states.The contaminant, which has seeped into several of the town's drinking water wells, is suspected[according to whom?] to have been dumped into the soil back in the 1950s and 1960s by industrial sites owned by Goodrich Corporation and Black & Decker. Both companies, most likely under contract with the Department of Defense, operated weapons manufacturing facilities which used massive quantities of rocket fuel. According to former employees at the plant, rocket fuel routinely leaked from the facility during operations and workers regularly disposed of rocket fuel in unlined pits behind the plant.After many years of negotiations, Goodrich Corporation and Black & Decker still have not agreed to clean toxic waste from the environment in northern Rialto. Studies have shown that perchlorate consumption, at the levels measured in the affected wells, can lead to Attention Deficit Disorder, learning disabilities and decreased IQ.With several other wells unusable due to contamination, the drought-prone city teeters on the brink of running out of water. Residents have also been forced to pay water bill price hikes to pursue the polluters for clean water. 2005 recall election On September 13, 2005 the Rialto city council voted to dissolve the Rialto Police Department and replace it with a contract with the San Bernardino County sheriff's department.
