California is in its 7 year drought pattern

This is the standard pattern for California in-between El Ninos.


I saw this for years before the last super-El Nino.  I was in California just before it hit.  Everything was horribly dry.  No fires because everything had been burnt before.  Then came the rains for a long time.  My son had lots of rain on his trip to California.

The vegetation loves rain and sprouts up at a tremendous rate.  Then we get this standard pattern again.  Nothing to do with any 'climate change'.  This is their standard climate.  The statements 'worst fires in my lifetime' are meaningless.  It's like 'worst earthquake in my lifetime'.

So, now that the polar bears are fine, we need a new poster-child.  So naturally, we can extrapolate that soon the whole world will burn like this.  "This is the face of climate change."


Note:  Standard boiler plate on this chart, which I write new each time.  The chart is the MIMIC product which shows warm moist air that can form rain when it hits cold air.  All our moisture comes from these coloured plumes spinning off from the equatorial bands.  No nice colours, no rain.  The California fires will just have to burn out, as they have for millennia.  Sucks for all the 'nouveau riche' in the mountains.  The old guys knew to stay away.
