Outdoor El Nino 2015/2016

[Vas Deferens]

The weather bureau has stated that El Nino has "officially" started in Australia and will go through until next autumn. We gonna have ideal hot, dry conditions to grow, so apart from my usual photo's, I'm gonna do a big run of auto's Sept-Dec. @dingo @hecno @Psilocybon

ENSO Wrap-Up

El Niño in the tropical Pacific
Issued on 12 May 2015 | print version

The tropical Pacific is in the early stages of El Niño. Based upon model outlooks and current observations, the Bureau's ENSO Tracker has been raised to El Niño status.

El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indicators have shown a steady trend towards El Niño levels since the start of the year. Sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean have exceeded El Niño thresholds for the past month, supported by warmer-than-average waters below the surface. Trade winds have remained consistently weaker than average since the start of the year, cloudiness at the Date Line has increased and the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) has remained negative for several months. These indicators suggest the tropical Pacific Ocean and atmosphere have started to couple and reinforce each other, indicating El Niño is likely to persist in the coming months.

International climate models surveyed by the Bureau indicate that tropical Pacific Ocean temperatures are likely to remain above El Niño thresholds through the coming southern winter and at least into spring.

El Niño is often associated with below-average winter and spring rainfall over eastern Australia, and above-average daytime temperatures over the southern half of the country. However, the current May to July outlook suggests much of Australia is likely to be wetter than average. This is because a warmer-than-average Indian Ocean is dominating this outlook. El Niño is expected to become the dominant influence on Australian climate during the second half of the year.

Next update expected on 26 May 2015

Pennypacker (@Corgy)....May to July....rain away..perfect !!

@hecno : I'm giving this a red hot go next Spring. Yes you are right, we get great , hot dry weather in Spring. I will run 20 odd auto's. Strains yet to be finalized but will run strains of Shortstuffs, Mephisto, Dutch Passion & Buddhas. I am pretty sure I'm gonna get a good result Sept-Dec & Dec-Feb. If I don't then I will give auto's away and stick to photo's as i am an outside grower and size is not too much of an issue. Been digging holes...aah I think I'll go hire an auger lol.

I heard a radio interview with a cali water expert who was saying that big ag corps have drilled so deep to get all the water it has dried up all the shallow wells of ma & pa properties. That sux.

were in a serious drought here in CA kina looking pretty grim honestly there isn't much left green on my property besides my plants and my vegetables. my whole front lawn looks like shit because we are trying to cut back.

Allot of big farmers have had to reduce the size of there crops due to the fact they cant water them.
