This year, Jupiter and Saturn have reached to their closest distance to the Earth.
In Eastern part of Nigeria around Latitudes 6-7 degrees North, the rains from westerly winds which used to start within the end of March and early April delayed till the end of May. It came with much wind and storm. One cannot conclude the details of the amount because the rains are still on, being within the rainy season which is expected to end around October.

Yes, I have observed in Bangladesh that there is a remarkable change in climate in the current year.
In south-eastern Canada in the spring of 2019 we experienced especially low temperatures; in May 2019 the temperature was 2.0 ° C below the average.
As far as the location of the planets at this time is concerned, there is indeed an interesting situation in which Jupiter and Saturn are in the Lunar conjunction between 15 and 20 June. Can we link this situation with weather patterns caused allegedly by tidal forces and / or magnetic field disturbances? At the moment there is no clear indication of such interaction.
If we take into account the naive comparison of the maximum tidal Forces of the Sun, Moon, and Planets on the Earth shown in the following table
Moon 2.1
Sun 1.00
Venus. 0.000113
Jupiter 0.0000131
Mars 0.0000023
Mercury 0.0000007
Saturn 0.0000005
Uranus 0.000000001
Neptune 0.000000002
Pluto 0.0000000000001
we will remain sceptical about the gravitational forcing of the weather patterns.
However, there are more detailed recent studies that may shed new light on this problem. An interesting theory was described by Sorokhtin et al. (2014): Jupiter effect on the climate of the Earth, the text is available in the RG system.
The main point of the study is: “Modeling indicates that the superposition of large planets’ (mostly Jupiter) that effect Earth’s climate should result in the modulation of seasonal temperature fluctuations of ±2.5 °C with the total period of 12 years. The real climatic fluctuations in the near-surface areas of Earth are modified first of all by the Sun’s revolution around the center of mass of the Solar system, as affected by the gravitational pull of large planets (Jupiter and Saturn)”
The suggestion from the original question is therefore supported by recent research and it deserves an additional investigation.
Please consider the paper: "Multi-scale harmonic model for solar and climate cyclical variation throughout the Holocene based on Jupiter-Saturn tidal frequencies plus the 11-year solar dynamo cycle" by N Scafetta for additional ideas (the text is available in the RG system).
Several countries have witnessed climate events that have not happened in decades .(Waves of high temperatures in Germany and Europe, the floods in Iran, storms in the United States, drought, fires...) So I see that this year (2018-2019) is to be the focus of a study of the astrological influences (Sun, moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus...)
