I'm disappointed that La Nina might not develop too. I'm in Malaysia, and we face this terrible transboundary haze from Indonesia's forest fires every year, normally from July to early October, when Indonesia faces its dry season. Last year's El Nino caused severe haze, with no respite until the dry season ended. But this year we've been having more rainfall, I wonder if there's a connection between the SST and the amount of rainfall in Malaysia, and parts of Indonesia (Sumatera, Kalimantan). By the way, is the first graph updated frequently, or only drawn for this blog's purposes? If it's available for public viewing, where can I find it?
