Interesting, and thanks for the effort.
SW winds on the 15-year average are, yes, more prevalent, but to be miserable and 'rain on your parade', is the difference significant?
To my eye, the change has been from having some years in the last millennium with a high proportion of SW-lies, and equally some without, to this millennium with years in which the year-on-year variation is much smaller. Since the human memory is selective and more readily retains extreme events, I wonder if all those high values in the last millennium have been condensed into a perception of every year, from 20 years ago, having frequent SW-lies?
