thank you, el nino


The forecast for Friday, which is getting very near to mid-December, calls for 71 degrees, sunshine and a southwest wind of about 10 mph.  How great is that?  The cause is el nino, which is characterized by unusually warm surface sea temperatures in the equatorial Pacific.  I don't understand el nino and how it causes warmer winters for the mid-Atlantic.  I am just glad for it to happen.  

The forecast for Saturday is 72 degrees, sunny, southwest wind.  Maybe I'll get out both days.
