The deserts are dictated by the Hadley cells, they make the bands of 
deserts north and south of the equator. And then add ocean currents in 
the Pacific and Indian oceans and the circumpolar current.

If Western US has crop failures AND Peru drowns THEN it rains in the 
north east of Australia, six months later that water has flowed down the 
river and finally reaches here.  I care a lot what the weather is like 
in the Americas, India and Africa.
Americas and Pacific tell how far south the rain falls, Indian Ocean how 
much.
That is a massive generalisation.
The USA gets hammered by extreme conditions from the north and cold 
causing tornado alley and other extremes and transients.
We tend more towards slow and monotonous and long lasting crushing 
boredom. The really funny thing is it rains a lot, it is just mainly all 
around the continent and falls in the oceans.

If you want to see how currents move and change this is very beautiful, 
and illustrates how complex weather is. Best in HD.

thanks to US taxpayers for that bit of weather pron  :-)
