ClimateCenter:  What La Nina means for winter weather
Program Summary

 

The cooler Pacific Ocean temperatures associated with La Nina this year could have a significant effect on our winter weather. New predictions just released by government forecasters call for a warmer, drier Southwest and a wetter Pacific Northwest. And while the year so far is still tied as the hottest on record globally, a cooling La Nina makes it more doubtful that 2010 will end as the warmest year on record.
