Why the U.S. just experienced its wettest 12-month stretch on record:
I am always careful when writing this type of article because some contrarian is sitting in his basement ready to pounce on careless statements like"The U.S. had its ____est year". The mistake that some make is using"ever." Recently, climatologists revealed that the U.S. experienced its wettest 12-month stretchince formal climate records have been kept , the period from May 2018 to April 2019 received more precipitation than any other period of the same duration.
I will explain what he is talking about shortly, but I want to deal with the"meteorology" of why this period has been so wet. I have to do that because someone saying is eye-rolling right now and saying"but the climate changes naturally, Dr. Shepherd" or"we've always had heavy rain." My quick response is that your lawn grass grows naturally too, but it grows differently when the soil is fertilized. I will visit this topic later with a more robust discussion.
