bluewave Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 2011 will enter the record books as another summer when big heat in the East was followed by extreme rainfall amounts and major flooding. I looked for periods when areas of the East picked up close to or in excess of 20 inches of rainfall following near or record breaking summer heat.These years featured direct or indirect input form the tropics.Some years the TC's held together and other years remnant moisture contributed to the record rainfall.I am focusing on the areas from around North Carolina to New England. 1955 July 1955 August 1955 http://www.erh.noaa....cal/aug1955.htm 1999 July 1999 http://www.erh.noaa....coldmonths.html Late August and September 1999 2005 August 2005 October 2005 http://en.wikipedia....of_October_2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 1938 September 1938 flooding http://www.erh.noaa....al/sept1938.htm August 1944 September 1944 Those years had a -PDO +AMO pattern like the other years in my earlier posts. The -PDO developed by the fall of 2005 though. http://jisao.washing.../pdo/PDO.latest http://www.esrl.noaa...on.us.long.data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBG Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 44/55/66/77/99 and now 2011... HMMMM! No, 2010 was next in that sequence. Hot summer but not that rainy a late summer/fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolai Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 No, 2010 was next in that sequence. Hot summer but not that rainy a late summer/fall. No, 2011 is. The interval is 11 years, but my point was that the years all end with the same last two numbers--thus, skipping 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I wonder if the same can be applied to other regions...like TX. Will they now see epic rains(tropical)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
