Rain rain go away!

It was something we already knew as Torontonians. This has been the lousiest summer in a long time, weatherwise. Now it's confirmed. It's been the wettest June-July on record. Yesterday we broke a 28 year old record, and between now and the end of the month, we'll add to it. Falling on the heels of the snowiest winter in years, one wonders what exactly is going on in the atmosphere.
Today's three local world class sporting events have been affected. The Canadian Open Golf Tournament (which is located just blocks away in Glen Abbey, here in Oakville) is on a rain delay and has been severely affected by the torrential rains of the past week. The Rogers Cup Tennis Tournament has had play interrupted, and tonight's Major League Soccer (MLS) All-Star game between the League and the EPL's West Ham United will be a soggy affair.
The question remains- who planned these 3 events all at the same time?
