Mainecoons Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hearing a little thunder out there tonight from moisture being brought up by El Niño so let's get cracking on the Guess Start of Rainy Season Thread. Rule: Two storms in three days, 1 inch total, clear easterly flow on satellite views. Date of first storm in the series determines winner. My guess is a bit later this year. June 21. I think stronger southwest flow will delay onset of easterlies that carry the rainy season. I'll also climb further out on the limb and predict a below average season here. Post your guess and I'll edit this post to periodically list all of them as they come in. Amateur meteorologists feel free to post why you picked that date. LIST OF RAINY SEASON START GUESSES Travis June 1 Mistermister June 5 Gringal June 2 Rony June 7 TomGates June 8 Glyn, justsayin June 10 LCS cats, Solajijic (3PM), 757 June 11 El Salto, Plumeau1 June 12 Mostlylost, mhopkins2 June 13 Johansen, Exyyz June 14 Hammerhead, JRM30655 June 15 Sunshiny Day June 16 Valerie June 17 k2tog June 19 Mainecoons June 21 Remember it is OK to pick a date that has already been picked!

Sandrita Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 The rainbirds are alive and well in San Antonio...heard them a little a few days ago but now it is like an electric transmission sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solajijic Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 June 11 mid-afternoon about 3. I will be lamenting the start because THIS is my favorite time of year here and we are not going north this summer so I will have to suffer a rainy season - ugh.

Mainecoons Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Over an inch of rain last night! Don't get excited though, came out of the west. Definitely an El Niño caused phenomenon. Pacific moisture over central and southern Mexico has really deepened. Sure freshened things up. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
