BREAKING: Weather outlets throughout the world are confirming a “Strong to Very Strong” El Nino this year, and some are predicting an “Extreme El Nino”. Last years call for a weak El Nino was true in the technical sense, as we kept catching Yellowtail throughout the wintertime– a happening that is virtually unheard of.
What’s that mean for us in Newport? A year filled with weirdness.
– Expect the great fishing to continue, as normal inhabitants of the equator waters move north.
– Expect massive amounts of rain this winter.
– Expect flooding during the winter, if you are in low-lying areas.
– Expect major heat spells this summertime.
– Expect very strange weather patterns [to continue], including hot and cold cycles (don’t pack up your winterwear just yet!)
– There always remains a possibility of a warm storm this hurricane season. While we hope this isn’t the case, please do not wait to plan until it is too late– get with the Newport Beach Community Emergency Response Team— or “CERT”– to help build a plan for your and your family.
Every El Nino brings its own surprises– are there any others you can think of? Please comment them, below!
