The same El nino pattern is repeating in 2014 as it did in 1997 - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;44869692]110 degrees here in Los Angeles a few days ago. Can't wait for every day to be like that.[/QUOTE] Sure as hell gonna regret saying that when you're thermally decomposing into your constituent hydrocarbons and wishing for snow again.

[QUOTE=Cabbage;44871126]Sure as hell gonna regret saying that when you're thermally decomposing into your constituent hydrocarbons and wishing for snow again.[/QUOTE] doesnt snow in los angeles really, and hot weather is the besttttt

So the UK is getting a cool summer?

To top it off, california had a drought this past winter if i remember correctly.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;44869849]I'm gonna stay in Texas for 2 weeks in July [I]I'm going to die[/I][/QUOTE] isn't it nice in france too? this means you aren't used to it this makes it all the more worse

Fuck the El Nino winds. I had to spend summer nights sleeping with inhumanly dry throats. But since I'm not in San Diego anymore, I just have to put up with the summer heat now.

france had a heat wave the other summer. it's terrible, if i recall correctly people died. we're not so used to high temps in europe.the climate is mild, especially around the medditeranean and atlantic coasts.

I'm going to be in San Antonio all summer for Basic Training. Fuck.

Damn I really need to save up for an ac unit this summer for real.

[QUOTE=OvB;44869936]Where abouts? You're going to feel it as soon as you leave the plane so be dressed for that. (That Crack between the plane and jetway is all it takes)[/QUOTE] Near Dallas. Then on July 15 I fly to Seattle with friends for The International 4

It's 25 degrees C here and I am already dying from heat. I need to move to fucking Iceland or somewhere.

[URL="http://www.thewire.com/national/2014/05/el-nino-2014-refresher/371188/"]From what I'm reading[/URL], it's not really a temperature thing, but a matter of rainfalls and droughts. North and South American should expect a lot of rain and strong thunderstorms while other parts of the globe (notably Indonesia) will see droughts.

cold as a witches tit winter, hot as the devils asshole summer, kill me

Around here "isolated showers" means we're completely isolated from them, and our average rainfall is only 2", 3" if we're lucky.

I find anything above 75 to be intolerable. I know Wisconsin is pretty mild in comparison to most of you guys, but it gets pretty humid. Makes it hard to breathe.

This could mean cooler and wetter weather for my state, and after 2 wild fires 2 years in a row I can easily say we desperately need it. Won't help during Ski season though which is a bummer.

Maybe I'll shell out the bucks for that beach parking pass after all. :dance:

FINALLY! I'll get to go outside this summer and it'll be muggy and amazing

So that's why we've had such a wonderful warm autumn this year... Last year's autumn was nonexistant, we skipped directly to winter in April. This year's autumn has been amazing. The right amount of heat, wind and humidity. Just [I]perfect[/I]

[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;44869229]Welp, that means as far as the monsoon is concerned in this part of the world, we're fucked. again. Time to brace for a water shortage.[/QUOTE] Why don't the govt's or heck, even private companies/ngos etc spread critically important info like this, in a country like india?Companies loose proffits when natural calamities or massive accidents happen. It's in their interest to keep it safe. people should stock up on water and other necessary items months ahead to prevent bad things from happening. Even if it proves to be a fake alarm, it's still better to have prepared for it and not to happen than to happen as a surprise and then all hell breaks loose like in the balkans with the floods the other week. We're in 2014 people, we know when floods are gonna happen days or weeks in advance,earthquakes in hours, tsunamis in hours to days(depending on the epicenter location) and el nino patterns are flagrantly obvious months before...

I'm honestly going to buy a bananna hammock if cali stays this FUCKING hot. [editline]21st May 2014[/editline] seriously though it's terrible

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;44869849]I'm gonna stay in Texas for 2 weeks in July [I]I'm going to die[/I][/QUOTE] you wanna meet up? ;)

It's not going to be hotter until [I]next[/I] summer. El Nino effects start in winter. [B]2015[/B] [I]could[/I] be the hottest year on record if all the cards fall into the right place. If the conditions are right, the El Nino could also effect the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_decadal_oscillation"]Pacific Decadal Oscillation[/URL], which is why it could be [I]really[/I] hot, simply put. If everything goes right, the next few years might suck. That "pause" in warming is going to change for years to come. Allow Nelly to explain: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeZZr_p6vB8[/media] Oh, and El Nino got it's name basically because it fucks up fisheries along the Pacific coast, so that should be fun. [editline]22nd May 2014[/editline] El Nino doesn't make it universally hotter, either. This coming winter will be warmer in the upper norther hemisphere and wet in the south. (North America) (so this would be winter 2014) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/M9ZbqIi.gif[/IMG] (and this would be summer 2015) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/X4ydK7g.gif[/IMG] (So then this is what happens starting summer 2015(because of possible warm shift in the PDO)) [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/mAdKV5P.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/UKe1efp.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] Basically, [B]N America[/B]: warm and dry in the north, wetter and cooler in the deep south. [B]S America[/B]: drought up north, wet down south. [B]Australia[/B]: Hot and dry pretty much throughout. [B]Everyone else[/B]: Pretty much warm and wet. I hope I'm getting this all right. Kind of rushed it but I highly suggest everyone looks into how it will affect their own location. [editline]22nd May 2014[/editline] There's also a chance we're looking too deep into it and it's not the precursor to a huge El Nino, or an El Nino at all. [editline]22nd May 2014[/editline] It's really impossible to say this early on.

Our dams here are already experiencing low levels and some fields are already dry. The government have been cloud seeding but that's been put on hold since one of the planes crashed. The capital reaches temperatures of 34C-36C. El Nino sucks.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;44869849]I'm gonna stay in Texas for 2 weeks in July [I]I'm going to die[/I][/QUOTE] I fucking live in Texas. Dallas to be exact Apparently the long post above explains how El Nino won't affect Texas as much so there is hope.

My electric bills will be so high :(

[QUOTE=OvB;44874999]*science-y stuff*[/QUOTE] Oh Christ, not another warm winter. I know New England is home to some of the craziest weather patterns in America, but that doesn't mean we're allowed to deviate this far from the norm.

How does something like this even form? It's such a long cycle, it obviously can't be regulated just by seasons. There must be something that changes from year to year, and tips over at a certain point. If anybody knows more about the cause of this thing lemme know
