WHAT'S HAPPENING IN CALIFORNIA WITH THE STORMS?

California is known for its Mediterranean climate, which typically features mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. However, the state also experiences a variety of storm systems throughout the year.

The most significant storms in California are typically associated with the "pineapple express," a weather pattern in which a plume of moisture originating near Hawaii travels eastward across the Pacific Ocean and into California. These storms can bring heavy rain and high winds to the state, and can also lead to flooding, landslides, and other types of severe weather.
