BigBull, You are the Perfect person for this post! gggggggg El Nino is gone, La Nina was born last fall. It is undetermined whether it will grow up to be a BigBerthaBoom2K, the patron saint of OSX investors, stay tuned. Excerpts from the following site: cdc.noaa.gov The 1997/98 El Niño event is over. Its duration...a full year, from May/June 1997 through April/May 1998) surpassed the 1982/83 benchmark of nine bi-monthly seasons. Last year's descent of the MEI into La Niña conditions was every bit as dramatic as its rise towards El Niño conditions in 1997. Although previous strong La Niña events got off to an early start, the present La Niña came on so strong so fast that the MEI almost caught up with the 'pack' of historic La Niñas. Its peak value of near -1 sigma lasted from last October/November through January/February. More recently, the MEI has indicated only weak to moderate La Niña conditions. Its last two values both rank 14th out of 50 cases, just barely in the tercile denoting La Niña events. Stay tuned for the next update (usually by the fifth workday of the following month) to see whether the MEI finally 'rallies' towards stronger La Niña conditions, or whether it continues to lag behind its seven strongest cousins.
