It was a La Nina year last I knew. But it was supposed to go neutral this spring.
Last year, after the Tonga Volcano blew, they started to debate what the results of that eruption was going to be to weather. More water vapor was put into the upper atmosphere than any eruption of such a type than in any in known history.
Additional water vapor in the upper atmosphere limits the amount of natural heat that can be radiated off to space.
99% of the time, normal volcanic activity cools the entire atmosphere by reflecting sun light.
The Climate Change Cult seems to catch every break.
The Pacific northwest has been drier than normal since last Spring because of La Nina and colder ocean temps.
So, a completely natural weather event is now labeled as Climate Change drought!
