The mechanisms behind “wet gets wetter, dry gets drier” are some of the most established principles of climate science. There’s nearly a 100% chance that PNW rainy season precipitation in the next 30 years will be higher than the previous 30.
I agree that attributing < 10-20 year trends to climate change is dangerous (which is why I said in my post that I doubt you can attribute the recent wet springs to climate change), but over the longer term averages the trends predicted by the climate models will win out.
Beautiful morning on the weather deck. The landscape seems to already recovering from the harmful drenching just a matter of hours ago. The resilience of nature is truly astounding.
Little known fact... mid June through early September of 2010 was actually drier than normal. It only rained a few days here in that period but most of them just happened to be right around the 4th of July. Just need to shift that timing a little bit!
