Its not just a persistent Bermuda High pressure system but it is a larger, persistent Bermuda High system thats keeps ya'll under flood warnings and us East of you under an extreme drought, even though its raining a little here right now, may get 0.2" tonight
which seems to be all it will rain here anymore in what was formerly a very wet area receiving an inch or 2 of rain a week thru the growing season which we gardeners and the trees counted on.
The climate may not be changing, but it sure is different.
