"ENSO was in the warm phase (El Niño) in the winter of 2009-2010 but has made a rapid transition from warm to cool phase conditions. Figure 1 shows the European Center’s Nino3.4 Index (a measure of ENSO intensity) forecast for the 2010-2011, and NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center and the IRI are also now noting the high likelihood for La Niña conditions in the next few seasons. The central tendency of the ECMWF forecast ensemble shows the Nino3.4 index about -1 degree Celsius by December 2010, solidly in La Niña territory for the coming winter. Although uncertainty is present in current ENSO forecasts, there is relatively high confidence that La Niña conditions will exist for the next few seasons, and the PNW region can expect increased odds for below average temperature and above average precipitation for Oct-March in 2010-2011."

I wish I had my spine and hand surgeries in July versus last week.
