Rains coming down pretty hard.

Uh but the rains will come!

Well, it stopped raining.

This rainfall cycle, this rainfall factory, effectively feeds an agricultural economy of the order of 240 billion dollars worth in Latin America.

We have problems with the tropical rains.

The probability of Sydney of not having rain is 1 minus 30 , or 0.7, which is a 70 chance of not having rain.

The rain didn't last long, did it?

Assume that the chance of rain in the two cities is independent.

They gave us the chance of having rain as 80 .

So Brazil has 1,782 millimeters per year of precipitation of rain.

It's the number one contaminant of groundwater, drinking water, rain water.

So what's the probability of not having rain in San Francisco?

latitude, rainfall.

We fight floods, tropical rains at this time of the year.

And you know raining scenes with thunder and lightning?

What is the probably that it will not rain in either city?

like they did in the sixties they gonna need to take the rains here.

Eventually, as temperatures rise and rains fail, forests dry out,

The trouble with people who reform is they want to rain on everybody else's parade.

So there's a 14 chance that it will not rain in either city.

The rains are late, the crops have failed, a hundred million Chinese are hungry and a violent wind of discontent disturbs the land.

So let's say it's 20 in San Francisco of not having rain.

They believe... ...performing puja will end the hardships they faced last year.

But then the monsoon arrives, and unfortunately downriver there is always a dam or there is always a barrage, and, shoop, they get washed down to their doom.

Decentralized water retention landscapes give the water time to filter back into the earth body.

On a certain day the chance of rain is 80 in San Francisco and 30 in Sydney.

Do they, for instance, capture rainwater so that we can reduce water use?

Average rainfall reaches 100 200 mm in the northeastern areas and 200 300 mm in the northwestern areas.

The rains that cause these floods originate in Angola, flow into Namibia's Cuvelai basin, and fill the Oshanas (Oshiwambo flood plains) there.

But then the monsoon arrives, and unfortunately downriver there is always a dam or there is always a barrage, and, shoop, they get washed down to their doom.

We then dug a big hole to put in a rainwater catchment tank to take our yard water independent.

The rain was still coming down, but only in large individual drops visibly and firmly thrown down one by one onto the ground.

When it rains, these chemicals seep into the ground, or run off into our waterways, poisoning our water too.

But the question arises Okay, so how much do Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and indeed the state of Mato Grosso in Brazil pay for that vital input to that economy to the state of Amazonas, which produces that rainfall?

Wait till th' spring gets at 'em wait till th' sun shines on th' rain and th' rain falls on th' sunshine an' then tha'll find out.

One day in the early morning a hard downpour, perhaps already a sign of the coming spring, struck the window panes when the cleaning woman started up once again with her usual conversation, Gregor was so bitter that he turned towards her, as if for an attack, although slowly and weakly.

The downpour fell with the heavy uninterrupted rush of a sweeping flood, with a sound of unchecked overwhelming fury that called to one's mind the images of collapsing bridges, of uprooted trees, of undermined mountains.

What we don't know is the exact, precise, immediate impact of these changes on natural climate patterns winds, ocean currents, precipitation rates, cloud formation, things that bear on the health and well being of billions of people.

And, of course, in the modern world, with the environmental movement, we're becoming even more aware of the connectivity of things, that something I do here actually does matter in Africa, that if I use too much of my carbon allowance, it seems to be that we are causing a great lack of rain in central and eastern Africa.
