Precipitation persistence: the story of 2015 One of the most intriguing questions in climate change research is whether blocking-type patterns might be fostered by rising global temperatures and the resulting effects on jet-stream behavior. Over the last month, the same pattern favoring heavy rain across Texas and Oklahoma has kept rain away from the Northeast. It was just three months ago that an unprecedented month-long stretch of heavy snowfall brought Boston and much of New England to its frosty knees. A couple of individual snowstorms within that stretch were among Boston’s heaviest, but it was the relentlessness of the cold, snowy conditions that truly stood out and caused such misery. Likewise, the unrelenting rainfall across the southern Plains this month has caused pile-on effects, as downpours flow off saturated soil and farmers struggle to get spring crops planted. During the 30 days ending on May 25, Norman, OK, received an astounding 24.10”. Oklahoma is now assured of its wettest month on record, according to the Oklahoma Climatological Survey.
