Given that we are probably looking at a three-year La Nina, should New Mexico be prepared for a greatly diminished 2022 summer monsoon season? (NOAA is predicting a normal to above normal monsoon for parts of Arizona.) Do we in New Mexico have any hope for one as well? Or is it too early to tell due to the spring predictability barrier? Our state is currently burning up, having the worst fires in the country. And, could there potentially now be more than three back-to-back La Ninas, due to accelerating climate change? Thank you for your input.
