Drier conditions are likely to remain over the central to western Summer Rainfall Areas for the pre-winter period. Rainfall and production conditions are weaker than expected and it may be attributed to the redevelopment of El Nino that is currently taking place.
The last week may certainly go through as one of the driest weeks during late summer/early autumn over the central parts of the country.
n 1997, large commercial fishing boats based in the coastal town of Beaufort, North Carolina began shifting about 13 miles northward per year. By the end of 2014, they were harvesting off the coast of New Jersey.
Precipitation over the summer rainfall region was mostly limited to the northeastern, eastern and southeastern parts during the last few days.
The next few days will be a bit hotter while thundershowers may occur towards the weekend over the eastern and north eastern parts of the country.
El Niño has looked “imminent” since October, but the wait is over. Happy Valentines Day-Niño to all the climate nerds.
