Is your area experiencing a lot of rain these days? ?

[Amy10223]

It’s like monsoon season here in Ohio, at least in central Ohio. I did google it, and it is happening in the entire state, not just here. Here is what I found:

Ohio is experiencing a period of increased rainfall due to a persistent, upper-level low-pressure system over the Great Lakes region. This system is steering moisture-rich air into the area, leading to more frequent and intense rain events. Additionally, climate change is likely contributing to these wetter conditions by increasing evaporation and the atmosphere's capacity to hold moisture, potentially leading to more extreme rainfall.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Persistent Low Pressure:
A low-pressure system over the Great Lakes is acting as a "traffic controller" for weather patterns, pulling in moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and preventing sunny days from developing.
Increased Rainfall:
This influx of moisture leads to more rain, with some areas experiencing shorter, more intense bursts of rain.
Climate Change Influence:
Warmer temperatures mean more evaporation and a greater capacity for the atmosphere to hold moisture, which can lead to heavier rainfall events.

PS- 1. This is a result of climate change, no doubt. People on Reddit have already mentioned leftists blaming the rain on global warming. Global warming is a fact. Leftists cannot change that. 2. I’m so glad AI recognizes it as the Gulf of Mexico.

We haven't gotten storms since May, but the beginning of the year has some severe weather. We got hammered with snow in January, which is unusual. My girlfriend was almost trapped at work twice. We had two tornado warnings in March and two in May. One missed me by a few miles and tore up a nearby neighborhood. Then ner the end of last month we had one of the strongest heat waves I've ever experienced. We get blast furnace type heat in July, but not one the first days of Summer. This heat usually comes with some humidity, but it was completely dry, which meant it was unsafe and dry outside. After a week we had eain and the temperature dropped into the 80s to low 90s, with priodic rains.

Yeah. NYC more like London so far this summe

[Aubrey97]

Not even a little. We in Arizona are less than an inch for the year. Some places in town got some monsoon action Wednesday and Thursday but I just got a few sprinkles both days. Still waiting for it.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Yeah i got some rather wet shoes on Thursday trying to get into my car because the street was flooded. Ended up driving barefoot because it was better than the squelching shoes 😪

[Amy10223]

Wow, that's a lot of rain. Are you also in the midwest?

[Razp_Sorbet]

No im in New Zealand

[Amy10223]

Oh! Is that normal? It's all around the world, not just in the US, I think.

[Razp_Sorbet]

It's winter here so wet weather is normal but we hvw been having more tropical storms than normal in the warmer months.
The street flooding is just the council being stupid and not fixing draining issues

[MuddyMole]

Nope. It was the warmest and sunniest spring on record, and the driest for 50 years. This summer has also been drier than average across most of the country (including where I live), although some other areas (particularly the Lake District) have been wetter than usual (but then the Lake District is always pretty wet - hence the lakes...)

[NathanDavis]

well, I am in Southern Texas... so it's been a bit rainy but really can't complain, given the situations nearby

[Amy10223]

What situations?

[NathanDavis]

I've been having some rain, but not as much as the flooding regions above San Antonio, that's what I meant

[Amy10223]

I see. Stay safe!

[NathanDavis]

always (=

[dustybiker2]

Not unless artificially manufactured for the crops. And musk had prob obliterated that too.

[Amy10223]

I hope he hasn't touched that. Hopefully orangeman will not be aware if it.

[contentious]

Yep we had a tropical depression for Independence day... It rained all day and it is raining at the moment due to the tail end of what is now a tropical storm sweeping over the state.

[Sevenpointfive]

i'm pretty near the texas mystic camp but it rained for 3 days kind of and didn't fill any water reservoirs enough to give the animals lasting water

[douride2]

Rain what's that. We have only had rain 2 maybe 3 times since the snow disappeared.

[Amy10223]

Wow... we are saturated. I hope some rain comes soon for you.

[Lliam]

Nope. Our rains stop in late spring here in California. Our summers are dry. We won't have any rain until fall.

[Friendlybro79]

Not here in NY but I wonder now if we’re going to get hit next

[msc545]

No, I am in Southern California, and it's hot and sunny here with a nice ocean breeze.

[noohair]

I live in Florida, rain is normal...

[Amy10223]

I think Florida, at least where I have been, rains suddenly and then the sun comes out 5 minutes later. Unless there is a storm, of course.

[noohair]

lol... I have seen things like that. Rain on one side of a parking lot and sun on the other side...

[Amy10223]

Right, exactly !

[wolverin38]

Thanks for the information

[Amy10223]

You're welcome.

[Wise4myage]

Yes and I love it.

[eagle1951]

it was but not so much now

[Iron_Man]

yes, in Miami
