Same here in Colorado. Temps in August hovering around 65° and rain every day. We average 12” per year with last year being below that. The forest fire were amazing. Since the fires we have had over 30” of rain, often 3” per hour or more. A few towns over is having flash flooding that is wiping out parts of the town and killing people. We went from bone dry for several years to more rain than has been seen in decades.
This long range weather forecast is based on the "saros" climate cycle that generally repeats itself every 6585 days. The word "saros" comes from the ancient Chaldeans who used this cycle to predict eclipses. The moon will very nearly return in 6585 days to today's position in its orbital geometry relative to the earth and sun.
Lunar gravitation affects the major circulation patterns of the earth's oceans and atmosphere. Thus, large scale weather events can be predicted with some accuracy if one looks back at the country's weather 18.03 years ago.
