Averaging smoothes out day - to - day and year - to - year natural weather variability and extremes, removing much of the chaotic behavior, revealing any underlying long term trends in climate, such as a long term increase or decrease in temperature, or long term shifts in precipitation patterns.

Further, let's agree that this will on average cause more precipitation due to increased evaporation at these higher temperatures (the best data I have seen say that the precipitation trend over the continental US — where we have the best long term records — is up 5 - 10 % over the last century).

Unfortunately, the figure also confirms that the spatial resolution of theoutput from the GCMs used in the Mediterranean study is too coarse for constructing detailed regional scenarios.To develop more detailed regional scenarios, modelers can combine the GCM results with output from statistical models.3 This is done by constructing a statistical model to explain the observed temperature or precipitation at a meteorological station in terms of a range of regionally - averaged climate variables.

Climate change is a long - term change in Earth's weather patterns or average climate, including temperature and precipitation.

As anticipated, the month of March did ultimately bring much - needed heavy precipitation to the northern 2/3 of the state — with many areas ending the month around 150 - 200 % of the long - term monthly average precipitation.

Most model results project increased interannual variability in season - averaged Asian monsoon precipitation associated with an increase in its long - term mean value (e.g., Hu et al., 2000b; Räisänen, 2002; Meehl and Arblaster, 2003).

[4] Thanks to a strong El Niño that brought near average precipitation to the northern California, the statewide April 1 snowpack measurement in 2016 showed state water resources at 87 percent of the long - term average; however, the snowpack was not sufficient to undo water deficits caused by years of drought.

To investigate these conditions, temperature and precipitation data gathered from BC provincial ministries, BC Hydro and Environment Canada were analyzed to compare monthly and seasonal averages for the 1900 through 2016 period against the long - term averages from the period 1971 - 2000.

Precipitation in Queensland from the late 17th century and 18th century was «probably a bit above the long term average and was reasonably variable», while 1785 to 1884 was «drier and less variable».
