A recent paper published in the Hydrological Sciences Journal examines precipitation in southern China from 1956-2000 and finds precipitation has become both less extreme and less variable. Contrary to claims of climate alarmists, the paper adds to many others demonstrating that global warming decreases extreme weather including extreme precipitation, floods, droughts, and cyclone activity.
Furthermore, the authors find that the primary determinant of precipitation variability is the Sun, stating, “the annual precipitation in every sub-region in Guangdong province correlates with Sunspot Number with a 3-year lag.”
