The drought was tougher in Austin than it has been in the Dallas area. Apparently the el Nino is coming in at the upper ranges of the initial projections. Originally they were saying weak and dies out in June. Now they are projecting a 90% chance it will last through the summer. For Texas, that means a wetter, cooler summer. Reduced numbers of hurricanes. If it lasts, wetter, warmer winter. California will get some drought relief. But they also will be getting landslides if they get weather patterns like we are. Oh yeah. You know that decline in the rate of increase as to global temperatures? We had a lot of very powerful la Nina events over the past 15 or so years. That might be changing. We had the right conditions for an el Nino last year, but didn't get one. It may be that we will be seeing the right conditions for several more years. If we start getting back to back el Ninos, and strong ones, look for average global temperatures to start climbing quickly again. In the plus column, we should see less massive melting of the ice sheets.
