They'll get dumped on this winter.

Water temps have consistently been 74-76 degrees in Mexico this Summer. This El Nino is going to be the real deal.

Hopefully, I want good avocados back.

a few months of exception precipitation won't repair years of severe drought.

Best ones in the world are being packed right now out of Morro Bay. None being shipped out your way though with a price difference of $20 between a box of California and Mexican.

Had this stupid fucking state invested in building new reservoirs instead of a high speed train that will never run these upcoming wet months would have gone a long way to repairing the years of drought.

Headed out this weekend to enjoy the fruits of global warming and slay some fish. Some dude just landed a massive blue marlin a few days ago a few miles of Point Loma, hoping for the same luck. If I land one I'll kill the fucker too just to spite boutons.

the reservoirs don't hold enough to last over such a severe,long drought

don't worry about the high speed train, or even the hyperloop, America can't do shit anymore, it's broke and divided and fucked up.

Well, there is a huge valley between the ocean and mountains. land use changes, alter the transpiration of the land and plants. In the past, rain water would evaporate back into the air, and maintain a larger moisture content to become precipitation over the mountains. Now with so much of this water going into storm sewers, instead of back into the air...

How can anyone be surprised?

It isn't the changes in temperature. It's changes in land transpiration!

The trend is small but real. Moisture level in the mountains is decreasing. Still, the larger problem is more and more people using the same water sources.
