Does anyone know where to get data for macro weather trends like these? I am curious what regions will have the most ideal weather in the next few years.

#13Global climate change => higher air temperatures => more water in the air => more water available to fall out of the air.
The most powerful supercomputers in the world are focused on weather analysis and they can only project a few days out. Yet, some people think they've got it figured out.
Not to mention we have an extremely limited data set to work from when identifying what “normal” is.

The most powerful supercomputers in the world are not even close in processing power of a 4 year old. Isn't it possible that some people can see patterns that the supercomputers can't?
Sure, but those supercomputers aren't autonomous, they're programmed and designed by thousands of human adult experts.
And these people can make mistakes or be biased. If we can't predict what the weather in our hometowns will be how can we predict how will the climate change?

#15I wonder if this will help to refill some of the depleted aquifers.

Few days out projection is hard and influenced by lots of chaotic changes. Long term trends are a completely different thing. I can't tell you what temperature will be where I live tomorrow, but I can tell you it's going to be ~30°C higher in 6 months.

=> more snow in winter => mini ice age
Are some predicting a mini ice age as opposed to warming? A mini ice age worries me more than warming.
