Experts are predicting El Nino this winter

Monday, August 17, 2009

Multiple sources including the Associated Press and San Diego Union Tribune are forecasting for the 2009-10 winter season to be a wet one. The AP article written on July 9 reads,"El Nino is back".
A sign of a potential El Nino winter includes periodic warming of water in the tropical Pacific Ocean, which has increased 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in tested areas. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center also noted above normal water temperatures in other tropical regions. This slight increase in temperature can effect weather all over the world.
Researchers of NOAA admit El Nino effects can steer damaging winter storms to California, but is it probable? According to the UT, "the numbers say yes, but what do numbers know?". The UT goes on to say that because of an extremely dry decade, it is likely that California will receive a higher amount of rain this winter, even though 'mother nature probably doesn't carry a calculator'.
