raindance metioned that when the PDO is inconflict with region 1.2 (negative PDO/warmer 1.2 given west-based, Modoki Nina), which was also the case in 2000-2001, the PDO is highly likely to continue to reverse throughout the following year, which it did back then. This year, we also have that conflict in that the PDO is negative and La Nina is west-based with warmer values in region 1.2.
