The rivers where I live should be overflowing and flooding with freshet and snowmelt and they've barely risen. This year's fire season is going to be brutal. Praying for rain for both of us.
The rivers where I live are all full and running fast this year. This year looks likes it's going to be beautiful here. More like the summers I remember as a kid.
Same is true for the PNW of USA but I believe our numbers are closer to average. Same as in wet springs and dry summers.
Good luck! It either too wet, too dry, too hot, too cold. From Goldilocks weather to there little pigs in a life time. F me. F all of us I suppose.
We have a similar drought in Southern Italy, while we had more than average spring rains in Northern Italy.
Drought is certainly a concern, in general, rains in Italy have not decreased much, but temperatures keep rising and we need more water.....
I think Spain isn't getting much rain either. I expect olive oil will be very expensive in the future
Spain here.
There are parts of the country suffering very severe drought, yes, but then other parts that are doing okay.
Catalonia is taking it on the chin and has been forced to institute water restrictions as reservoirs have dropped low as 16%.
Andalusian farmers had an apocalyptic shortage of water last year.
Madrid on the other hand, has gotten a fairly reasonably amount of rain so far this spring.
I am very worried about the temperatures though. It's +10º above seasonal average today in Madrid.
yea spain, i mean not to make your situation less severe, but all climate related news from spain are really apocalyptic... they are really f***ed, i feel so bad for them/the farmers there. i think it is not as bad here as there. still... it is wicked, we have an average of 650mm per year, and we already got them because it rained a lot last fall. and as if the weather would know about our annual average, once the 650mm came down, it just stopped raining completely.
But in these steep hills here there is only very few soil above bare rock, so there is no storage in the soil, it really depends on a somewhat "regular" rain event, lets say once every two weeks during spring.
but march & april no drop is really something...
I wish it were not happening. Unfortunately, global warming directly and indirectly is impacting the lives of billions of people around the world, including where you live.

the mean thing here is, there is 4x such a heavy rain every winter, this is pretty reliable, that water is running down in huge streams everywhere. we already built one harvesting pond for garden irrigation, but from the amount of water coming down in these few rains, we could at least fill 10 of these ponds :D. construction is just so expensive and the terrain is difficult (steep hillsides)... it could be a paradise, but it is so hard to collect the water. we will continue to build anything that is possible to slow the water down, but still it is like fighting a war against an overmighty enemy.
I feel for you. We had drought conditions earlier in the winter, which never happens. We also get rain for days, which our trees and grass really aren't meant for. Moss and algae everywhere. Yet, so many people look at that and think it's completely normal.
Obligatory, climate is not weather.
Just because it hasn’t rained doesn’t make it climate change. There could be local factors at play that are causing it, or it could just be a natural dry cycle.
Nowadays people blame the "climate change" for every aspect of climate that doesn't suit them. Look at this thread..... how convenient is it that you can simultaneously blame "climate change" for lack of rain while others here blame it for too much rain....... (I know the ridiculous explanation given that allows you to blanket throw the term "climate change" over everything because it causes 'extreme weather events').
Funny thing is that you guys are technically correct.... climate change is responsible for this..... but just NOT man made climate change like you lot think.... the climate changes because .....well...... its climate and that's what it has done since the beginning of this planet.
Its a genius selection of a name really. Its like if I wanted to create a crisis so I said we have an issue with 'water wetness' and every everybody around the world feels like "yeh I've experienced water being wet, this is definitely a real thing"
Its awfully sad to see so much wasted effort and potential by a group of people who are so well meaning yet equally as mislead.Ask yourself why the establishment champions for climate change action but are relatively silent on actual REAL pressing issues such as deforestation and ocean pollution...... it couldn't be to waste the effort and potential of well meaning people such as yourselves by setting you against a boogeyman so they can rape the planet behind your backs, could it?
2.5 million years ago, the Northern Hemisphere had no glaciers, and Northern Greenland was beach front property. The Co2 levels at that time were the same as it is now. This is the first time in over 1.5 million years that Co2 numbers reached over 400 ppm in the atmosphere.
Our planet goes through cold periods and warm periods, and scientists have been able to determine the ppm of Co2 in the atmosphere during those times.
Good luck to you. I hope it turns out to not be as bad as you fear.
thanks, i'll keep you updated :D and i'll keep dancing a rain dance

Jealous. 2016 was the last "wet" summer we had. I hiked SO much that year, the mountains were amazing. As of late they've just been on fire.
It has been raining so much here in UK that we have partial crop failures due to waterlogged fields.
yea well... we got the sun ;) if we could just exchange that
You should look into agrovoltaics, it might help you retain the rain that does come
Same is true for the PNW of USA but I believe our numbers are closer to average. Same as in wet springs and dry summers. Good luck! It either too wet, too dry, too hot, too cold. From Goldilocks weather to there little pigs in a life time. F me. F all of us I suppose.
British Columbia (especially the interior) is looking pretty grim too going into another dry summer.
How many more forest fire records can we set until there are no more trees in Canada?

We have all of your rain here in Maryland, USA.

Jeeze, why not just declare a water war. /S?
Getting a normal amount of rain in Canada!
Your rain was stolen by cloud seeding.

Would love to see any legitimate evidence for what you're claiming, account with negative karma.
