I think we are in for a good spring/summer.

Well, that copy and paste didn't work. Don't have a spanish keyboard, however its "El Nino with a curly que over the second end. It means the boy child. La Nina is "the young girl". (for the non mexicans in the crowd)

Focus of this is EAST coast Australia !
Ok in a nut shell - El-Nino = drought and
La Nina (however its spelt!) = wetter than normal ( like the summers of the previous 2 summers - before this one!!

the good thing about the wetter years - La Nina's is that there is a lot more chance of good onshore winds ( that's what brings the rains !!)

Seems we are in for not quite a La-Nina this summer - but we wont have an El-Nino either meaning - crank up the easterlies !!

Im an amateur at this stuff so am going to watch what happens - and learn !!
