11:40am Today marks the 1 year anniversary of Elvis Valerio's Weather Blog. The new viewer count for the first year is 371 strong. The weather has put alot on the plate this fist year and long range forecasts predict there is alot more to come. The planet is going in to an ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) commonly referred to as the El Nino/ La Nina phenomenon. This ENSO cycle is forecast to dominate weather patterns globally for some time to come and incidentally this will influence our seasons. The last notable ENSO cycle planet Earth has experienced occurred back in 1997-1998 and caused wild weather phenomenons around the world from forest fires to blizzards, from torrential flooding to extreme droughts in places that don't typically experience these weather anomalies with high frequency and severe intensity. This ENSO cycle is expected to be moderate to strong; going by our climate records we can expect much of the same this time around. We've already began to see wild weather patterns all around the world. Since I've launched my weather blog I can recall the winter blitz that hammered the nation early this year in a winter dubbed "Snowmageddon." Also the deadly floods of Nashville this spring and Iowa this summer, as well as the active Hurricane Season so far are all accounts for the ENSO cycle that is underway, and these are just a handful of examples from this country alone. These weather anomalies are occurring on a global scale. Experts predict that this ENSO cycle will persist through June of 2012, I will provide additional information on the current state of the ENSO cycle as well as expert analysis on what the climate might hold for the coming weeks, months, seasons and years. Its been an amazing fist year; I am overwhelmed with gratitude for my blog viewers and hope to expand the site as time progresses. May there be more prosperous years to come for Elvis Valerio's Weather Blog. Viva evwx.blogspot.com !!!
