If you live in the South and feel like there's been a lot of rain lately, you're not imagining things. In fact, 2015's April showers have been so tenacious that parts of the South have set record rainy streaks for the month, and some have seen a record number of rainy days so far this year.
You can blame a stagnant weather pattern. A low-pressure system in the upper atmosphere was slow to move out of the Rockies, while at the same time, the southern branch of the jet stream allowed for plenty of moisture to be drawn northward into the South. Even the overall pattern for much of this year has opened the door to wet conditions.
