EL NIÑO GAINS STRENGTH

#1 Postby CaptinCrunch » Thu Dec 07, 2006 1:51 pm

Dec. 7, 2006 — The latest El Niño/Southern Oscillation Diagnostic Discussion, produced by scientists at the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, indicates El Niño conditions are now evident in the tropical Pacific and should intensify during the next one to three months. However, this episode is expected to be much weaker than the very strong 1997-1998 El Niño event.

OT for winter weather forum, but what does El Nino mean for tornado season in the east? 97-98 southern Ontario had 20 or more tornadoes, as opposed to the average 14.

Not off topic for the southern US winter-wise - a good El Nino usually sends lots of rain our way here in SE Texas.
