"El Niño conditions in the Pacific Ocean that were first identified in March are strengthening, federal scientists said Thursday, renewing hope that the next winter could be a long-awaited wet one for California."
"Climate conditions during an El Niño





"The weather phenomenon intensified from “weak” in April to “weak-to-moderate” in May, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center said. Officials said there is now an 80% or greater chance that El Niño conditions will persist through the latter part of the year — up from more than 60% in April’s forecast.
A strong El Niño that lasts deep into the winter and into next spring would be favorable for California. Very strong El Niños are highly likely to bring substantial rainfall for a region besieged by years of drought.
Bill Patzert, climatologist for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge, said this year’s El Niño looks promising." LATimes

I can't remember weather like this in April/May. We've been getting storms every week. Today was 78* & tomorrow's forecast is 74* with an 80% chance of rain.
The wildflowers down south are incredible!

The NWS April/May/June rain projection for these here parts was 200% normal. Many lakes are now too full based on the rain that is yet to come.

All this rain is reminding me that the house's front needs a French drain or other method to drain the rain water away from the foundation.
