2005 rain fall amounts

#1 Postby jusforsean » Sat Jun 17, 2006 7:55 am

i know it must have been posted somewhere here but i am looking to compare the rainfall amounts for my area last year at this time to this year, i found info on noaa showing an animation of drought levels for past years
http://www.drought.unl.edu/dm/animations.html
interesting to see that last year it was so different for southeast fl.
I have heard people say that the more rain you get in april, may and june increases your risk for a storm and then i hear people say the drier you are increases your risk for a storm because its earths way of distributing the needed moisture. I have heard that any storms this year are meant to be very wet which we did see with alberto and would make sense because of the drought most places are facing. But i am wondering is there is any scientific evidence to show or prove that less rain brings more chance of a storm to an area or visa versa. Or, does it not matter and its just a bunch of malarkey? (sp). Comments, pls....tks, jusforsean :lol:

I guess an argument can be made either way whether or not rainfall (or lack thereof) can infuence an area's risk of being hit by a storm. I have heard that increased freshwater runoff from rivers in areas that have received a lot of rain can drop the water temps by several degrees along the immediate coast, which could soften a blow a bit from an incoming storm.
