Nothing to do with El Niño.

The El Nino effect is already getting ramped up, sooner than normal. The effects are more pronounced in winter, but I imagine they affect summer weather as well.
Anyway - my main point is how El Nino was such a big deal back when, and I haven’t seen anything about it on the MS news. It’s all global warming.
True, it's just our regular monsoon precipitation coming in from the Southeast although a little stronger. However, many scientists ARE seeing a huge warming in Pacific waters along the equator that is always a cause for a El Nino Western wet winter. We can only hope.
Still, been surprised to see how much steady rain the above monsoon has dropped on us. Supposed to go on today, also. Good.
