Rain for Florida has been way up and will be indefinitely thanks to climate change getting worse. Heavy rainfall for the coasts and the desert southwest; unprecedented and permanent drought conditions and massive desertification for the great plains.

That’s pretty much right. The west and upper Midwest will be desert while the east coast and south become just a tropical humid jungle. Already here in upstate NY we have gotten more rain in just July than areas in the west have gotten for the last year. I’ve measured like 10 inches of rain this July and we’re not done yet. Everything looks like a jungle and the bugs are insane. It’s like all the rain came over from the west and decided to drop on the east coast.

You have been told by me many times we will get much less rain from fall thru spring thanks to less and less cold fronts as winters go away all together. Only had 6" of rain total this year into June. So where was the rainfall up the first 6 months of this year in FL?

Up and down on the rain. But still only around 16" total for the year so we are gonna need a bail out to even be close to the normal for the year for my area anyways. Hope for a stuck cane or TS and bring me 20 to 30" of rain this fall. Aug and Sept are gonna have to really be above normal if i am to get back on track with rainfall. Back in late July thru Aug of 2015 i had 30" in about 6 weeks.

Been rather rainy in Indiana so far this June and July so far at least in Indy. IYHO, how high a risk on a scale of 1 to 10 of becoming a complete waste land is Indianapolis risking?

Up into June is usually the dry season anyway at least for tropical southern Florida. Perhaps your location is starting to become tropical wet and dry like southern Florida because of climate warming?

10 unless something is done slow the warming of the planet. Once the ice is all done in the Arctic and the blue ocean event happens, things will change quickly for the world especially the United States climate as a whole. The winters will become a whole lot more mild as a whole and you’ll watch the certain areas become too hot to live, due to the lack of sufficient refrigeration from the ice. The jet stream destabilizing is going to also create a lot more issues. The massive drought, massive heat waves, massive hurricanes, oceans and ice melting, massive wildfires, etc. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Now the planet has gone through changes before and will survive easily but because of the rate of change, many species will die and others will grow and thrive. Humans must adapt to live

Yup and DFW will become perpetually hot humid and nonstop rain and thunderstorms daily and Indianapolis will never see rain or humidity ever again and all this with ANY additional greenhouse gas emissions or additional climate warming

Anyone living right on the gulf will avg less rain in the summer with a west flow vs people inland or the east coast. We have had more days with a east flow by far this summer vs last so that really helps anyone living right on the gulf. It is the fall thru springs that are seeing less rain with less active fronts.
