We must be turning into a tropical rain forest this decade.

Yes, way too much rain in the summer.  Fall was very dry, but usually a dry fall is a bad sign as it hints at what the winter will be like.

Some great winters after hot and dry summers 1955-56, 1966-67, 1977-78, 1993-94, 1995-96, 2002-03, 2010-11.  This is a very nice list....

Check out this 27 year -PNA pattern we are in, in the North Pacific Ocean. This covers 324-consecutive-months to the present. 

A big reason is the frequency of La Nina during that time.

1998 is when the multidecadal PDO cycle flipped negative, so makes sense...probably augmented by CC (west Pac warm pool), too.

Please pin this thread and unpin the El Niño 2023-4 thread. 2024-5 La Niña thread remaining pinned is ok since it’s still active. TIA

I think it was a flip to more of a La Nina decadal state, because the PDO is water circulation in the North Pacific Ocean, and the Southern Hemisphere doesn't have the same water circulation... but there were High pressures on both sides of the ENSO Hadley Cell in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere's
