If you’re tired of hot summer weather, you might enjoy a chance to think about cool winters. North Georgia Weather published a blog article on the relationship between ENSO phase and the likelihood of getting a cold winter in the Southeast back in September 2015. You can read it at https://www.northgeorgiawx.com/weather-blog/category/el-nino. The statistics show that about 25 percent of the coldest winters come when we are in a weak or moderate La Niña. The stronger the La Niña, the less likely a cold winter is. So those of you who like cold weather should cheer for a weak La Niña this year, since there is virtually no chance of a really cold winter if the La Niña is strong. Of course, daily values can be different than the average, and it will still be winter, so some cold temperatures are likely regardless of ENSO phase.
You’re welcome.
