Anyone know if this 3x rain is even 1.5x as effective in recharging aquifers? Iirc Punjab (across both India and Pakistan) has had a groundwater pumping rate of 3x recharge rate which is why entire northern subcontinent has been on the brink of water table collapse for years…

By the end of August Pakistan had received three times its annual average rainfall. Why is it getting so much rain? econ.st/3AFkPbc

Flooding and droughts are highly correlated with solar cycles, whole body of research predicted an early spike in droughts and flooding leading into 2024, as early as 2022.

I know that's the usual line/assumption. I don't deny pollution / human effects. I searched on arxiv/whatever uni access I had (I honestly forget) "solar minimum maximum" in general, because I wanted to read about the Carrington event.

I commented on this a few days ago when posted something about extreme flooding and flat tailed distributions etc. We're at a predicted peak in a very regular sinusoidal pattern re: the sun.
