I think when all's said and done, meteorologists are going to have conclusive evidence to tie solar storms to droughts. The Dust Bowl in the 1930s, the big drought in the 1950s, and the early 1980s. All this wet weather when there wasn't much solar flare activity, and now that the sun has woke up again, it's back. There wasn't very accurate measuring of solar storms until relatively recently, but there is now and it's been pretty intense over the past year or so.
Seeing the Aurora Borealis in Iowa has been rare, but it's happened quite a bit in 2012. And it seems pretty obvious how much it disrupts the Jet steam. Without the Jet Steam pumping all that moist air from the the South Pacific, we're seeing what weather in the middle of a huge continent is like without it. I just hope it doesn't last 5+ years, but if history is any guide, it probably will.
All I know is all the old-timers in town going on about how it was just like the 1950s when we had our "summer in March" and them saying that there's going to be a bad drought. No doubt about them being right now.
