Scientists find that a saltier sea is a warning of floods to come
Description: The spring and summer of 2017 saw record-breaking precipitation totals across the Gulf. In April, Louisiana experienced 1.17 more inches of rainfall than normal. In May, 4.2 more inches fell on the state than is usual. Late spring through the end of the summer was the rainiest period on record in New Orleans since 1947. Now, new research could lead to better tools for predicting rainy seasons like the one in 2017. [Source: Yale Climate Connections]
