Long term rain forecast, causes and implications?
Generally, I think, no, and I only used the "currents from solar magnetics storms" just to show potential connection to weather phenomena, not to prove "causal relation" ... . As mentioned by others above, the consensus of research tends towards no immediate connection ...- Stavros Kiri
