2023 Pacific Hurricane forecast: "heightened risks for Mexico and Hawaii."

[Durian Fiend]

So, how about something more current?

The forecasters are predicting a dryer than normal “rainy season” due to a strong El Nino.  I tend to agree because droughts at this time of year do tend to happen in El Nino years.  The longest drought I have seen here was 40 years ago during a strong El Nino event, and it was quite scary.  Fires everywhere.  

I’m not proposing a wager of any kind.  Just hoping that you will disagree…and be right.

I gotta say... I'm not impressed by this "drought" of late.

Looks like a safe bet that Puna will end December with a lower than normal rainfall total for the month. Even with the big storm at the end of November, the month's tallies were below average for most locations in East Hawaii.
