- I've commented several times about this apparent correlation during the six year CA drought
- and predicted wet years were ahead. The recent solar cycle peaked in mid-1991 at an unusally
- high level, ditto the drought. The first winter after the peak has had almost normal percipitation,
- the second above normal. There was a solar cycle maximum and drought 1976-78 in CA too.
- Solar geophysical activity is reported in sci.space.news.
- Based on this hypothesis, normal to above normal percipitation is predicted for CA for the next
- four or five years until the cycle bottoms out.
- Weather correlations in CA do not necessarily apply to other parts of the country or world.
