The result or this  atmospheric river and some weaken cousins this week, will be massive rainfall on the West Coast.

Through these findings, the researchers identified how electric field variations correlate with specific weather conditions. This enhanced understanding of electric field responses to weather events could significantly improve...

No doubt computer models are behind this crystal ball gazing but the actual evidence of recent trends suggests something more modest. Homewood notes that annual rainfall in England and Wales has been increasing since 1980...

Bottom line:  strong winds from the east, gusting to 40-70 mph, will occur east of Puget Sound and will be stronger towards the Cascades.  Expect substantial vegetation damage and many power outages.    Driving down streets...

Instead of leaping to conclusions, Bloomberg and other media outlets should focus on reporting about realistic strategies like improved infrastructure, better flood management, and adaptation to natural weather variability—solutions...

In the end it seems dubious to attribute an extreme precipitation event to climate change when using the CMIP6 models. The ocean warming is for sure a source for more evaporation and also for more rain, although the proportional...

“What’s also fascinating is that normally dry lakes in the Sahara are filling due to this event,” said Moshe Armon, a senior lecturer at the Institute of Earth Sciences and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem...

One long period of severe drought stands out, the 1960s to 80s, which was directly linked to global cooling. This episode was part of the wider drought belt, which extended from the Sahel in Africa, across the Middle East...

As is often the case with the BBC’s coverage of climate, the opposite is true. Far from drying up, India’s monsoons have been getting wetter since the 1960s:

As I noted at the time, the Met Office’s warning did not even tally with their own 3-Month Outlook, and was clearly designed as pure spin intended to scare the public.

In neither dataset is there any evident long term trend.

...the leading factor controlling hurricane precipitation is not, as traditionally thought, sea surface temperature or humidity in the atmosphere. Instead, it’s Sahara dust

Climate science keeps contradicting itself

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Well, since I was on a roll with my last post Rainergy, I thought I’d look further at the Copernicus global rainfall dataset...

All of this is, of course, weather. I defy anybody to find a pattern or trend towards rainfall becoming more intense in Oxford in the above chart.

Works out what your expected rainfall capture should be over a given year, along with your minimal tank size to have constant water given an average monthly demand...

This rainfall calculator will work out what your expected 'rough' average monthly rainfall should be from the nearest measuring stations for which we have publicly usable data...
