Buy coffee (JO). Drought followed by drenching rains in Brazil. A gamble, of course; advice worth what you paid for it.
I thought Joe Bastardi was predicting a relatively short lived, mild El Nino? Who ya gonna trust, Joe or the globull alarmists?
The article doesn’t say who is floating this prediction. But I am disinclined to give much credit to “Climate Researchers.”
OMG!!! We are doomed.

A return of El Nino should lend itself to favorable growing conditions this year, says Art Douglas, a meteorologist with Creighton University in Omaha. He said ample moisture and more mild temperatures in July and August should boost crop production.
Why did they just mention drought in Australia?

On Thursday, federal forecasters issued an El Niño watch, indicating a 50 percent chance El Niño will develop this summer or fall.
However, El Niños return isnt guaranteed.
While all models predict warming in the tropical Pacific, there is considerable uncertainty as to whether El Niño will develop during the summer or fall, The National Oceanic Atmospheric and Administration said in their announcement. If westerly winds continue to emerge in the western equatorial Pacific, the development of El Niño would become more likely....
Climate researcher. Like an astrologer, without the credentials.
While the sun heats, the sun also cools.......

Yes, it is great news. If it is anything like the El Niño of the Winter of 1997/98, the High Sierra of California will get a ton of snow which is where most of California gets its water.

Coin toss?
Good! This was almost the snowiest, coldest winter here in decades. A good old El Niño will make for a milder, nicer winter here.
More devastating than any of that, it could possibly trigger a Midnight Oil reunion tour....
May I quote your predictions?
We can use the rain in CA.
Whaaa? Winds causing the ocean to warm - subsurface???
just damn. We need more taxes to stop those winds.
I tell you! We need to contact AlGore and his minions of enviro moon bats to bring this El Nino stuff to an end, before it is too late. Several several (yes, 2x) years ago Algore addressed a crowd here in CA of screaming enviro moon bats and told how when notified that El Nino was coming they were able to defeat El Nino (more excited screaming) and stop it dead in it’s track. In other words, another super sonic mega disaster El Nino was forecasted due to global warming and again nothing happened for which the ever ready Algore took full credit.
