Those terrible step children

Someone asked a question yesterday about El Nino/La Nina yesterday and whether the ocean cooling had an effect on our summer. The latest data shows the ocean temperatures are normal to a bit above normal right now. Usually the warming or cooling of Pacific Ocean has nothing to do with any other season. This season may have been effected by La Nina. We did see below normal temperatures over the summer months and certainly a bit of a drought the last couple of weeks. Right now it doesn't look like the La Nina will have an effect on the winter. But of course time will tell.
