I agree, Jim Hughes. I think we will have a very weak La Nina by summer, if not neutral conditions.

Yes I also think we will have neutral or perhaps very weak la nina conditions..
Pacific SSTs are not that cool...

Not that it really makes any difference if it is neutral or La Nina except if it is the Eastern Pacific Ocean's Hurricane Season that we are talking about.

I still don't understand why people get so confused about that

It would be interesting to see if there is anything that shows that La-Nina patterns have any effect on the Atlantic Ridge/ East coast trough set-ups and locations. Hopefully some of the experts will chime in to offer some insight.

Actually, La Nina years can have either dominant troughs/weaknesses or stronger ridging conditions. There are many factors that determine the position and strengths of the ridge/troughs, such as the NAO and SSTs.
