Rainfall predictability
Rainfall predictability has been studied in 1 paper since 2018: none in people yet, 1 in animals. The research so far is in animals. The newest paper, Oct 31, 2018: “Prey productivity and predictability drive different axes of life-history variation in carnivorous marsupials”.

What did studies of Rainfall predictability find?
3Studies of Rainfall predictability measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are breeding season length (1 study), potential reproductive events per year (1) and lifespan (1).

Rainfall predictability increases breeding season length in regions of unpredictable rainfall.
“species in regions of unpredictable rainfall have longer maximum lifespans, more potential reproductive events per year, and longer breeding seasons.”
