El Niño: So What Is It?

Is It Global Warming? Simple Answer: NO Named “The Child” due to December Arrival El Niño occurs when there is a shift in the Trade Winds…. And what does that mean? DEMO TIME!

El Niño In Action

So Why Should I Care? Warm Air Condenses and we get Normal wet weather in the Western Pacific

Instead we get Abnormal Rainfall in N. and S. America… Instead we get Abnormal Rainfall in N. and S. America…. and dry weather in Australia/Indonesia

So…… Sunny California! Rainy Season in Australia!

Global Weather Effects December through February

Effects in the PNW

So How About 2010?

Coincidence? I Think Not!
