"Southern California Sets Rainfall Record with Back-to-Back Wet Years"
TL;DR
Los Angeles has experienced back-to-back wet years, setting a rainfall record not seen since the late 1800s, with 52.46 inches of rain in the latest two water years. The wet pattern is expected to continue into April, driven by the last vestiges of an El Niño-Southern Oscillation. The current wet winter may impact the coming wildfire season, with potential effects on mountain and forest ecosystems and the growth of new grasses in coastal ecosystems. Climate change is expected to worsen the swings between wet and dry conditions in California in the years ahead.
