Its seems that in Southern California its harder to predict what

we will get in rain totals.  The last El Nino before this coming year which I cant come up with a year all I remember is that it was an average year of rain and last year when it was supposedly a La Nina year we had a decent amount of rain above average.  So my thinking is maybe climate change is having an effect on the rain we would normally get in an El Nino year.  Just a thought. Normally when we have a very wet El Nino year the rain comes throughout the fall and winter months.
