La nina is awesome on the lower half, west coast. Drier and warmer typically with high pressure systems dominating - which translates to a windier summer season.

Should be a good one!

Yep, pretty simple - in "theory".

Last summer in El Nino we saw loads of troughs sneak down to lower half which saw lots of humid, less windy days.

In theory with La Nina there should be less troughs in the lower half. The troughs are blocked or moved on quicky by the strong high pressure systems that will park themselves just where we want them.

I reckon it will be a good one. In theory

Hi Peeps,

Last La nina year was 2008 and it was a howler. Loads of very strong winds. We closed the school on many occassions as the winds were up around and over 30 knots. From Memory, November 2008 was one of the windiest months with wind most days in the high twenties.

Last two years have been el nino which was lower strengths. I think we only cancelled a handful of lessons last year but had many more windy days in the sub 15knot range.

I'm going to be ordering a heap of 7's and 6's this season in preparation!

BRING IT ON!
