NOTE: This post is not about global warming per say its about an unprecedented climate anomaly that occurred in 2015-2016 and about its future. Please respect the intent of the thread and do not drive this again into politics. https://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/april-2016-earths-12th-consecutive-warmest-month-on-record This blog is basically recapitulating my previous thread OP with details and predictions from NOAA. The problem is that they actually previously predicted its decline last fall that we would be neutral by the spring, Obviously we aren't, its May and El-nino rains, the most severe that I have seen, so I think that the call of el-Nino is not as fast and the la-Nina may not develope as quickly. As El-Nino suggests decline, we have in the last month had two decadal floods, this follows a decadal flood we had last year (2 depending on the area) and expect another event of sorts today. "When it rains it rains, but when it really rains, its El Nino." If you scroll down the page you can see GOES of my state, Im in the area that has not yet been hit. Note the cloud coverage over the entire state including over Big Bend region areas of which get less than 8 inches of rain per year. The recent floods we have had are not the typical flood systems that fill up one or two major river systems. We have events that filled rivers from the Guadalupe river all the way to the Calcasieu river in Louisiana, not within a protracted event but as a single contemporary system.
