La Niña peak strength prediction poll

[George001]

Let’s do this again. Last year for the El Niño, based on the poll results voters overwhelmingly favored a strong El Niño. That ended up being correct, with the official trimonthly peak being just short of 2.0C (ended up being rounded up to 2). Coming off a borderline super nino that is already beginning to weaken rapidly, both historical precedence and the current guidance favors a La Niña for next winter.

I feel like we're overdue a strong la nina season. The last was 2010-11, which means we are in the longest stretch without a strong la nina since the 17-year gap between 1955-56 and 1973-74.

I just don't want another moderate la nina season. We've just had 3 consecutive ones before the strong el nino.

The subsurface is already down to around -.8C, early signs appear to be pointing to a strong event.

It won’t matter if it’s moderate or strong for how next winter turns out for our area without a dominate  -NAO.
