Why Climatologists Got Impacts of "Record" El Niño Wrong

[Weatherman2020]

Tens of millions of dollars were spent preparing for heavy rainfall in central and Southern California in anticipation of a high probability of well above precipitation. As per previous El Niño years the storm track was to drop from the Pacific Northwest into Southern California in the winter of 2015-2016. The Pacific Northwest was to receive below average rainfall and Southern California well above average.

What actually occurred was just a typical non El Niño weather pattern.

Why did this record El Niño turn out to be a false alarm? Answer is self evident to everyone but our climatologist friends when you see the following charts. The "record" El Niño was based upon a small area in the Central Pacific. The actual warm water area was extremely small when compared to previous El Niño years. Also, the warm waters never fully reached the Eastern Pacific. Thus Central and Southern California did not experience significant rainfall.
