No Niño instead I'm wearing a sweater in the middle of the summer..

Upwelling?

You of course realize we are just at the very beginning of this thing, right? In the southeastern U.S., we definitely have an El Niño.

We have had a few summers recently during which we didn't reach 32 at all.

Peru's coast has an upwelling ecosystem. Upwelling is something that doesn't happen during El Niño.

From Wikipedia: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

Another threat to the productivity and ecosystems of upwelling regions is El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) system, or more specifically El Niño events. During the normal period and La Niña events, the easterly trade winds are still strong, which continues to drive the process of upwelling. However, during El Niño events, trade winds are weaker, causing decreased upwelling in the equatorial regions as the divergence of water north and south of the equator is not as strong or as prevalent. The coastal upwelling zones diminish as well since they are wind driven systems, and the wind is no longer a very strong driving force in these areas. As a result, global upwelling drastically decreases, causing a decrease in productivity as the waters are no longer receiving nutrient-rich water. Without these nutrients, the rest of the trophic pyramid cannot be sustained, and the rich upwelling ecosystem will collapse.

That's really weird because I live in Buffalo, NY and it's only 10 degrees (supposedly) yet I have my window open because I'm sweating to death. The heat at my house is only set at 68. I was just telling my friend it feels like the world is stuck upside down right now!

The ocean and atmospheric temperatures where hotter in july (middle of winter here) than they're today.

Great El niño events like 82-83 and 97-98 and some minor ones peak in January. I remember that by this time in 1998 every river north of Lima was flooding badly. Highs where around 35°C with lows at 26°C.

Can't agree more with you. Something weird is happening but it isn't El Niño.

CERN LHC HAS OPENED UP A STRANGELET IN THE EARTHS INNER CORE!!!!!! YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET IN TERMS OF CATASTROPHIC,APOCALYPTIC EVENTS, IN COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS IT WILL BE SO BAD, THAT OVER ONE BILLION WILL DIE RAPIDLY!!!!
