Question

#1 Postby NBCintern » Wed Jun 07, 2006 8:46 pm

I come to Florida every year and every year Florida gets afternoon thunderstorms. Every year it is like clock work, but this year nothing, but bone dry weather and rare low humidity. I would expect more of something like this in California, which is were I am interning. Does anyone know what is up with that....

But I thought it starts just before or shortly after June. Never this late in my recent memory, but then again.......My memory tends to be short... :wink:

Florida becomes abnormally dry during a La Nina. True the rainy season should have started by now but truth is we've been in a drought as evidenced by the numerous wildfires we currently experience. Check out the Keetch-Bryum index from the Dep't of Forestry or the Palmer drought index and you'll see what I'm talking about. La Nina brings dry conditions to the state and El Nino brings severe weather. To bad when you flip the coin it can't land on it's edge. :cry:

La nina dries me out too, 1999 we had a major drought, ended by Hurricane Floyd. La Nina has died off so I'd think the rains should come, hopefully not from the wrong places if you know what I mean.

Welcome to the board. Soon enough, in another week or two, you will be seeing those very predictable p.m. thunderstorms. Enjoy the light breezes and sunny skies while they last!

The rainy season has started in S. Florida, see:
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/productview.php ... n=4&max=61
If you don't see it there go back a few versions.

The reason it hasn't been raining much is the huge trough in the eastern USA.. that is very strong for early June and dried us out nicely for a few days. Wait til that boundary to the south backs up on us in a few days.. maybe late weekend??!!?

The reason why we're dry is because of the stupid high that is over FL right now.

Once that low exists the NE the trough will pull northward and will get 5 inches of rain in 2 hours.
