explain please



Yeah, it's a bit difficult to deduce the point he's trying to make.

There is this: "It is possible for a region to experience a long-term
circulation pattern that produces drought, and to have short-term changes in
this long-term pattern that result in short-term wet spells."

For those following along, my statement that it's weird was regarding the
rare "short-term wet spell" we have been experiencing, as well as the severe
drought conditions in the SE.



Let's see, 500 year flood, annual average rainfall by mid-year, not
being able to swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting some record
breaking weather event - that's weird in my book
