Drought-stricken California has equal chances of normal temperatures and precipitation.
Outlook maps for October temperature and precipitation in the U.S. offer a glimmer of hope for California and parts of the West. For the first time in months, California’s precipitation outlook map isn’t colored a desiccated brown, indicating drier-than-normal conditions.On both maps for October, issued on Sept. 30 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, California and neighboring states are colored a neutral white.
October is not a rainy month in Los Angeles. The wettest months in Southern California are December, January and February. Washington, most of Oregon and northern Idaho are depicted in NOAA’s outlook map as wetter than normal. And some of that wetter-than-normal green extends south into drought-stricken Northern California.
The outlook for October is for drought conditions to improve or end in a large portion of the Pacific Northwest, and persist or worsen in California. A wild card in all this is the fact that October is a peak month for typhoons in the western Pacific. Tropical cyclones on the far side of the ocean from California can travel to the north or northeast, where they may influence the jet stream.
