Just blame Leviathan being summoned and then Shiva which just caused more messed up weather conditions to occur on the dry desert <_< oh and don't forget Bismark, see all that water based aether enters the atmosphere and eorzean science says it changed the weather patterns to make it rain more in the desert >_>.
