No Andy, can’t agree with your call there. As we have a look on replay we see it’s set up by Arctic and North Atlantic Oscillations, La Niña’s faded right away and a surprise teleconnect from Indian Ocean Dipole! Global Warming’s nowhere to be seen. Let’s cross to our super aerial coverage…
Sorry Andy, Global Warming’s not even on the field of play.
Driven by a combination of natural climate variability, manmade global warming, and plain old bad luck, drought conditions are so widespread in the U.S. that it’s possible to take a cross-country flight from Washington, D.C. to San Francisco — a distance of approximately 2,400 miles — without once overflying an unaffected area. With about 81 percent of the lower 48 states experiencing at least abnormally dry conditions, and 63 percent mired in moderate-to-exceptional drought, it’s becoming harder and harder to find an oasis. And the dog days of August are yet to come.
