I tried to find Illinois yearly averages. None to be found. But I did find this. The dryers to wettest years in Chicago listed in order.That is one approach, the one fucking morons take. But I see why you did.
Or we can do thing to adapt to the changes and take advantage of the changes we can and mitigate the damage from the rest.
In your neck of the woods the grain farmers have been putting in tiling and irrigation due to the changing rain patterns. Farmers I work with that are on the same land their family has worked for 5 or 6 generations and never needed them before....now they do.
In Illinois the amount of land that is irrigated has gone up 4 fold in the last decade.
This is just one example of what to do about it

Sure looks like anything in the 2000’s isn’t even all that crazy. They should have done irrigation in the early 1900’s. 2021 was a record year for rain fall. So WTF are your friends doing over there?
