The 2022-23 rainy season saved California from a brutal drought by delivering one of the wettest years on record. And it'd be great if we could keep the good times rolling with yet another major rain and snow year just like it this coming winter.

That means there was a roughly 2% chance of it happening in the current climate regime. It was so exceptional that the authors said that about 5% of observed sites saw a 1 in 320-year occurrence.
