Signs of a Historic El Niño, but Forecasters Remain Wary
This year’s Pacific weather pattern could be the most powerful on record and could bring enormous amounts of rain to drought-stricken California.http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/10/science/earth/el-nino-california-drought.html
"In
fact, Mr. Halpert and Mr. Pierce said, one bright spot in the
long-range outlook is that with the odds favoring at least a weak El
Niño, the opposite weather phenomenon, known as La Niña, is less likely.
La Niña occurs when Pacific water is colder than normal, and the result
for California could be very dry weather.
“At least when you have a weak El Niño it’s not a La Niña,” Mr. Pierce said. “So that’s some limited good news.”" 4
