As I understand it, there’s a high altitude, high pressure system sitting over our region, which is holding a system of heavy rain over our homestead. I’m no weather expert, but this seems strange to me—particularly as we’re getting tails of tropical storms moving into the area at the same time. If the high keeps things stationery, how can new weather move in?
Whatever the cause, we’re getting higher than normal temperatures, and torrents of rain. And, the forecasters say this should last into the new year.
