I'm beginning to wonder if it's ever going to stop raining...

[Subdivisions]

I live in north Texas and it's been raining here since sometime in August. I am not exagerating when I say that I haven't seen the sun except for a very few times since the middle of August. We made it over 100° a couple of times during the summer compared to the normal 60-70 days. Very unusual climate goings-on here in north Texas.

I noticed my former home in Jackson Hole received an early dumping of snow as well as the entire region of the central Rockies. Has your area been experiencing unusual weather lately?

1. California is being hit by the remnants of a Typhoon right now

I cant recall in my 50 years of living here ever having that happen before.

[Parker CA]

2. Yep. It has been pouring here for ten straight hours. No sign of letting up.

[DJ13]

3. Just started lightly raining here in central Ca about 7 AM

Its now a steady rain, but not too bad yet.

6. SF Bay Area

Lots of wind and heavy rain. We need it, though. It's been really dry here.

4. San Diego's traditional weather cycle has been disrupted for years.

WE are in the ninth year of a five year drought. (That came from a news report.) Our traditional weather patterns are all screwed up.

7. Maybe San Diego is a desert that had some rain for a hundred years.

8. San Diego has always been a desert, but it still has rain.

But the natural cycle of rain and even the timing of weather patterns (locally we call one of the June gloom due to a tendency to have clouds, fog, and cool weather between May and July) has changed. It doesn't really happen anymore. Days are warmer, we get less annual rain.

5. There's no drought about it: North Texas has had a lot of rain lately.

At least we won't be threatened for a few decades by sea-level rise. ;-)

9. Cloudy and drizzling here in SoCal for the past few hours, supposed to continue

through tomorrow. Not sure if we'll get anything measurable in my neighborhood, though that would be nice - the sidewalks are FILTHY with spilled soda, urine, dog feces, and general crud. Nobody bothers to sweep sidewalks anymore (except ME), so the mess just accumulates until it rains hard enough to wash it all away.

10. I am SO with you!!

Here in central Arkansas, we've had plenty of rain. OK, it's rain. We get it. Our reservoirs and aquifers are plenty filled. Thanks.

Now, may we please have just a little bit of sunshine?

(BTW, subdivisions, you mentioned 100+ degree days in N. Texas -- this was the first summer in a long time where Little Rock did not have a single day where the actual temperature (not heat index) reached 100 degrees or higher. For that, we were grateful.) :hi:

14. Looks like some counties in southwestern Arkansas have received 70 inches of rain...

...so far this year!

11. It's been miserably hot all Summer here in western WA State......

and has just recently cooled off and is now beginning to rain (finally).

I thought I might have to move further yet to the North, which would be British Columbia.

12. It's been like living in Ray Bradbury's version of Venus

Where's the sun?

I'm in North Texas, too, and this weather is an anomaly. And it's depressing as hell.

[debbierlus]

13. We had it here June - August - September was beautiful - October has thus far sucked

15. Yes, in NW Ohio

we had a very cool, rainy summer. We only used the A/C twice, which is unheard of. Usually the humidity will force us to use the A/C, but not this summer. It is cool out now, we've already had a frost and I doubt that we will have an Indian Summer like we usually do. I am bummed because I love fall days in the 70s. Maybe next year.

16. I live in north central Texas and know exactly what you're

talking about. We did only get handful of days over 100 when the entire month of August and part of September are usually over 100 along with part of July. It has been an unusually cool, rainy summer and spring. I've never seen this much rain at this time of year in all my combined years of living here.
