I think it's leftover from Tropical Storm Paine.

It turns out that we aren’t the only ones that feel the weather has been
weird lately. This is something of a global phenomenon primarily due to the
buildup in pollutants in the atmosphere. Locally we can expect more cloudy
weather than normal on a long-term basis. “One study published recently
in Nature Climate Change predicted more extreme-rainfall events as a result
of the projected warming. The researchers predicted that extreme
precipitation will increase by 1 to 2 percent every decade in dry regions
like the Southwest, based on 60 years of measurements from 11,000 weather
stations throughout the world.
The weather we are getting over the past couple of months is due to a
greater than normal El Nino, which has also lasted longer than normal.
This coupled with a strong Arctic oscillation has resulted in us being
wetter than normal and the arctic warmer than normal. At one point last
month the arctic was recording temperatures above freezing.

Does anyone have an idea of why we are getting so much rain and so many
clouds? How long will it last?

Don’t feel bad Earl. I ordered two things last week and they just
arrived. Maybe my order and yours will cancel things out.

Since it has been cloudy for so long, I decided to order some astronomy
toys to give the clouds reason to be here. I hope it doesn't mean six more
weeks of dreary days. Seems like I'm back in the Midwest.
