Well, Mr. BillyBob, given your accuracy to date on this El Nino, LOL!

And Billy Bob takes another spanking this week. Thank You, Mathew.I give it a 80% chance of becoming a super....Very early to be at 1.7c at 3.4 and all signs point to this getting to 2.0c within the next few months.
Only fool couldn't see the writing on the wall.
I'm still waiting for the Elnino. Show me that first.1.7, Billy Bob. And just when might we expect your La Nina to begin? Next year about this time? And in the meantime, how strong is the El Nino going to get? You are going to get your weekly spanking from reality for a long time to come, Billy Bob.

And if it's not?Can't wait until the Monday update! I'll predict it will be 1.9c at 3.4.
So not positive? Who cares if you have no confidence?Jc456, I know more Meteorology in my little finger then you will ever care to understand. Maybe you should just watch as I post about this amazing event?

still no confidence in your little finger?Jc456, I know more Meteorology in my little finger then you will ever care to understand. Maybe you should just watch as I post about this amazing event?
Almost all of the models indicate
Niño 3.4 SST anomalies will
remain greater than or equal to
+0.5ºC through spring 2016.
All multi-model averages suggest
that Niño 3.4 will be above
+1.5ºC (a “strong” El Niño)
during late 2015 into early 2016.

The El Nino remains strong, drop the pants, Billy Boy, the paddle is ready again this week. Currently 1.6.
Thus far Mathews predictions are running at about 100%, while those of Billy Bob and jc are at 0. That is a simple fact anyone can ascertain for themselves by simply reviewing this thread. Right now, it appears that we are going to have at least a very strong El Nino through the rest of the year, perhaps even a record breaking one.
where? which buoy.WWF smackdown! El Nino vs. The Blob!

But El Niño isn’t the only weather game in town, and there’s one major difference between this year and the strongest El Niño on record — a vast pool of much warmer than average water in the northeast Pacific Ocean, which some have dubbed “the blob.”
That pool of incredibly warm ocean water was a major player in the weather over western North America this past winter. A strong ridge of high pressure was parked over the region, keeping things warm and dry from California to Alaska. It was a tangled feedback process between hot, dry soil, the strong ridge, and the blob — all working together to enhance the ridge itself, leading to more hot, dry weather. The wintertime pattern has been so domineering that West Coast meteorologists dubbed it the “ridiculously resilient ridge.”
...
But the Capital Weather Gang’s Matt Rogers says the North Pacific warm pool is a powerhouse right now and could prove hard to overcome, especially if El Niño turns out to be weaker than predicted.
