Is this the third or fourth year in a row that they've been predicting an El Nino condition? They're bound to be right one of these years.

The year I moved here (Aug. '97) was the last time Cali got hit with this. I had never seen that amount of rain in my entire life and I grew up in upstate NY, which isn't exactly known for its lack of moisture.

It's Bush fault for not accepting Kyoto.

Good we could use a mild winter here in Ohio.

this is the direct result of the mixture of hot-air spewing from the liberals' mouths and the cold-hearted commies of east asia. is it any coincidence this happens in the pacific?

They're catching bluefin tuna like crazy off Santa Cruz, which usually indicates warmer than usual water this far north.

But whether warm water translates to rain is anyone's guess.

“For those of you who don’t habla espanol, “El Nino” is Spanish for “The Nino.”

Great I love El Nino. Tucson gets a cool wet summer when we get El Nino, I'm all for it.

El Nino has been a normal part of atmospheric fluctuations for as long as we have records in north america. It has an approximate 14 year period, which means that it's about 7 years on and 7 years off. If you look at any periodic rainfall map in El Nino affected area and plot them on a map, you would quickly see a sinusoidal pattern. Changes between La Nina and El Nino should no longer be news, if it stopped cycling, then we should worry.

OK, I know this has nothing to do with weather, but my husband has a georgeous Smith & Wesson nickel plated revolver. It was so dang LOUD the first time I heard him fire it, I nicknamed it 'El Nino'. ;)

For the benefit of those Freepers who don't speak undocumented worker, "El Niño" means "The Niño".

If you can't beat 'em, apply for your very own matrícula consular identification card before they run out!

I wonder if El Nino will have any impact on the weather in Iraq?

You know, like maybe it would rain once in a while.
