Tell me about it. Here in Portland temperatures have been in the 90's, prompting complaints, but nothing to do about it. OTOH relatives in Texas are complaining about unusually rainy weather in recent weeks, like our respective typical conditions have been exchanged.
I'm guessing in both regions it's associated with El Nino effects. Also now wondering if the drought south of us is an El Nino effect as well. Looks like the drought is creeping its way north, and when it does, it's definitely going to be a source of serious trouble in this part of the US.

This (poorly dated) page talks about 2011 and the worst drought for 70 years, and it's been drought since then. http://www.laht.com/article.asp?CategoryId=14091&ArticleId=470584 http://www.laht.com/article.asp?CategoryId=14091&ArticleId=4... http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/21/us-mexico-drought-idUSBRE82K1E520120321 http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/21/us-mexico-drought-...
