Hypothesis of global climate change predicts increased variability in
weather, and increased intensity of weather events. There's more water
in the air, so higher energy density. Also, reduced temperature
differentials between equator and poles reduces jet-stream stability,
making seasons more chaotic. And extremes in El Nino / La Nina have been
increasing. So anyway, what you're seeing isn't unexpected.
