If it is any consolation this pic is from 24/03/2013 so at least we are benefiting from global warming a bit

Last Saturday really sickened me. Torrential cold rain all day. Did what I could in the yard and finished early.
Was in merchants yesterday and girl at counter saying its all she hears about now is folk complaining about the weather.
Out of our hands-do what you can-nobody's enjoying this at the moment.

Interesting article on the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption, showing how much water vapour was ejected into the atmosphere:


The killer chart is this one, that shows not only how much water vapour is in the atmosphere compared to normal, but how it has migrated latitudinally from the volcano position just south of the equator. We in the northern hemisphere can count ourselves lucky, the majority went south.

Judging by the above I'd say there's several years of above average rainfall still to come before things get back to normal.

Just seems like six months of continuous rain to me. Reminds me of a drama/documentary I saw many years back, 'What happens if the Earth stops spinning?'

Long story short there would be a very narrow band either side of the equator which would be habitable for humans, on one side of the planet. Weather pattern would be very predictable, six months of rain then six months of drought. Priority for everyone would be to collect as much of the wet season rainfall as possible for water supplies in the dry period, so tarps strung everywhere in the 'new settlements'.

Now I wonder if that's the sort of climate we're heading towards.
