This apparently a la Nina year which should mean at least average rainfall for us. As I speak we are at less than half of where we should be for an average year and heading for even less rain than last year which was very dry. I took this photo early this morning. Development like this usually indicates a big storm later. We shall see.
According to the meterologist I heard, La Nina came in early and will dissipate about now (mid January). I hope there is a lag effect for you!
Careful what you wish for – it has poured today!
