Short summary
This study finds three cycles in yearly rainfall worldwide of approximately 13, 20 and 28 years. The cycles rise and fall together across continents and also appear in the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a major climate driver of rain. However the signal in ENSO is too small to explain the strong local influence, the results point to another, still-unknown force that may shape both the climate modes and global rainfall.
