It's been constantly below average temperatures this year meaning less evaporation and on top of that lots of rain this year and last year rain was above average too They had to close parts of Toronto Centre Island because the water levels are too high Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 It's similar to what's happening in some areas here in California, too. That said, this rapid increase of precipitation is honestly very concerning. It's a medium wraparound but, as OP mentioned, there is much concern for possible floods. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact most fresh water lakes world wide fall due to global warming. It's the oceans that are rising It's in the second half of this decade that it has made up the losses But I agree. Global warming makes things unstable and irratic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
