I've been correlating rainfall with marine temperatures for nearly fifteen years. There is simply no predictive value to El Nino in terms of rainfall levels here on the Central Coast of California. None.

There may be a statistical correlation averaged over many years, but one can easily find annual rainfall levels that vary from wet to dry in both warm and cold marine winter temperature seasons. To base a forecast upon such variations is totally without merit.

I have found over the clues of almost the same time frame and with my exhaustive study of rainfall. Some years you get rainsome years you don’t in Woo Cal we had near record rains about 9years ago
