Lack of Rain

Coming off an island in Alaska where the weather was wet, cold and inhospitable most of the time, Missouri had an abundance of sun. Now that we have been here over a year, I have noticed, it also has a distinct lack of rain. I can’t help wondering if this is the foundation of the next dessert. At one point there was a massive inland sea, fossils of sea creatures can be found at certain depths, but a dessert? Climate shift and weather patterns are an interest as I write in another world that has its own environmental concerns. One thing is sure, weather is always changing and can have a big impact.
