Analysis of six precipitation records from the east coast of the United States supports nonstationarity of the mean as a physical explanation of the Hurst phenomenon. One possible mechanism is ‘almost intransitivity,’ a concept which implies that the atmosphere‐earth‐ocean system may exist in a number of distinct quasi‐stable regimes.
