Don't loose hope just yet, the way I see it is that I have 2 new kites and can't kite until march cause of knee recon.

So do you believe murphys law or that silly la Nina/el niño?

Current conditions "remain well short" of another La Nina for this season.

Stay positive!!

And if all else fails, move to Philippines.

Temperature anomalies in the Pacific.

In laymans:
Warmer = el nino = pumping wind season.
Cooler = la nina = **** wind season.

Yer right and where did you find that 'well short " look at the water temps and look at the rate it is progressing . Its nice to be positive but its practical to be realistic .Be prepared folks

True, however if you look at this:

www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/ensoyears.shtml

And base your forecast over 60 years of data (rather than 3)..... it looks a bit better.

Very unlikely to go from La Nina episode to neutral, then back to La nina again consecutively for the following season, especially when we already have these neutral temperatures by this time of the year.

More likely to stay neutral... I'd say... But I am definately no meterologist.
