It has been drizzling a lot the last few weeks, but it is raining in earnest this morning. It is likely to keep raining all day long and into the night. Which reminds me of my long-term weather prediction that there will be two seasons in this part of Europe, one wet and another dry, and that they will last about six months each (“Wet, Dry,” February 14, 2013). The wet season will most likely start in November and last through April, while the dry season will start in May and end in October. On occasion, when the temperature drops below freezing, there will be some snow during the wet season, but it will last only a few days. As global warming progresses, snow will be ever more rare. And so on, and so forth. All I can add to my long-term prediction is that it is a joy revisiting it. Would that the weather people could ever come up with predictions so easy to pick up and keep in mind from year to year. It will take them a few decades to confirm my prediction, too.
