What you missed is how this drought is "proof" of that global warmey climate changey thingy. I guess this "proof" is going to be rendered meaningless thanks to a cyclical event. I didn't miss it. The drought very likely is the result of climate change. How does an el Nino render the proof meaningless? I mean, it could, but it would take several years of el Ninos to end the drought. If that were to happen, that would be an unprecedented event. Likely the result of climate change...

"I guess this "proof" is going to be rendered meaningless thanks to a cyclical event." I guess it won't. It likely will mean record rains and snows here and abroad, thanks to more moisture in the air caused by warming. Tropical Cyclone Megh headed towards a second landfall in Yemen Tropical Cyclone Megh is threading the needle down the narrow Gulf of Aden in the Arabian Sea, but is weakening due to interaction with land, entrainment of dry air from the nearby deserts, and encounters with cooler patches of water upwelled last week by the passage of Tropical Cyclone Chapala. On Sunday, Megh powered ashore over Yemen's Socotra Island as a major Category 3 storm with 125 mph winds. Although news reports from the area remain sparse, it appears likely that Megh brought a second round of devastation to an island hard-hit the previous week by the passage of Tropical Cyclone Chapala. A BBC report cites AFP as reporting at least two deaths on Socotra due to Megh, with a spokesperson for the Socotra Environment Office reporting more homes destroyed by Megh than by Chapala. The latter cyclone passed just to the north of Socotra Island on November 2 when the storm was at Category 3 strength. Satellite images on Monday morning showed that Megh had suffered significant disruption of its cloud pattern, and by the time the storm reaches the south Yemen coast between Mukalla and Aden sometime on Tuesday, Megh will likely be a rapidly weakening tropical storm. Still, Megh will likely dump heavy rains over a desert region unused to seeing them, and widespread destructive flooding is likely near where the center comes ashore. wunderground.com
