Has this not been the most dismal and chilly May you can remember in the Bay Area, like, ever? It is in SFist's opinion. But some meteorological nerd today tells us, via the Examiner, that "May rainfall is infrequent but not that unusual and only seems so because of the last three drought years when winters were abnormally short and summers were longer." Also, he adds a no-brainer: "The El Niño effect has had some influence on the late spring rains." [itals ours]

Accuweather tells us to look out for a few thuderstorms later today. Your Memorial Day weekend promises to be bright and sunny, but this bitch of an El Niño season continues into JUNE, folks, with more rain headed our way the middle of next week. This is bullshit.
