Video:
[snip] El Niño is an anomalous, yet periodic, warming of the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. For reasons still not well understood, every two to seven years, this patch of ocean warms for six to 18 months.

In the interest of 'ongoing climate change'.

“For reasons still not yet understood...”

We can’t tell you why this patch of ocean warms, but - don’t worry - we have the whole-planet thing down.

Hmmm.

Maybe, there is something to natural cyclical weather changes.

So far, we have rainfall totals below mean on the Central Coast of California.

Strongest El Niño in 18 Years to Peak in Winter, Weaken In Spring, NOAA Says

What does this mean?

If my SUV is causing Globull Warming this means that I will be responsible for record cold and snow? or

record heat and drought are my fault because I drove to the grocery store?

Either way I'm sure algore will have something to say.

BRING IT ON!!!!

Here’s to snowpack in the mountains..

Hope the pika and longfin smelt are ready for this.

And here’s to a good flush of the manure ponds of Stinkymento and our state GUbamint.

The impacts (highest rainfall) of El Nino for central and southern California will occur between Dec-April...

[NormsRevenge]

Maybe if more people drove their SUVs in Reverse.. It might slow globull varming..

[Ditter]

Yea! It might snow in Houston again............but probably not.

[al baby]

That’s when the yearly rainfall is always at its peak.... idiots all of them

What does this El Nino mean to the winter weather in the south particularly the state of Mississippi?

[NormsRevenge]

I’ve seen about 2.5 inches in the old rain guage so far this fall.

Hope your roads hold up for this looming deluge.. ;-)

“For reasons still not well understood, “

And yet the science of global warming is settled. /s

[blueunicorn6]

I see a Nobel Prize in your future.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I have a new snow blower so let it come. I ain’t afraid of no snow storm.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

We’ve had a gloriously warm fall and winter so far. (Yes, I know that winter doesn’t officially arrive for five weeks, but when snow that stays on the ground, I call it ‘winter’ and it usually arrives long before the end of October here.) Driving for a living, I wish we had El Nino EVERY year!

North state rivers got some good rain and the steelhead and salmon are on the move. The jetties of Humboldt Bay took a pounding the last few days...
