How El Nino could affect the Bay Area 

Thanks Paul for giving a clear & wonderful explanation of El Niño and what we could expect for the upcoming winter. It’s almost as if you were teaching a class. Both you & Darren Peck are my favorite meteorologists on these topics.

The best explanation of El Niño and it’s effects that I’ve heard.

I love these Weather Extra episodes, I always learn something from them.

I love Weather Extra! Thank you, Paul!!😊

This past Winter SF had average temperatures 7 degrees below normal.

If it makes us wetter…sweet! 👍

Thank you this was a very well detailed explanation of this, dang good thing we got water sorted

just last year this guy was saying that the entire west coast was going to be in a drought for decades.. due to dry conditions at the time.. this year california had historic levels of rain and snow.. all reservoirs and lakes filled to over max capacity..

I’ll believe it when I see it. Long term forecasting? You guys had no idea how much rain we would get this year.

Thank you Paul!

My Favorite segment.

Thank you!

Very good job well done 💯🦁👑

Thank You

I want more rain and less heat. It was was too hot the past few summers. I thought moving to SF from LA would be cooler but not since 2021.

So, correct me if I am wrong, the Pacific Northwest (I live in Vancouver) will get warmer and less rain during the winter season? We get to trade our weather with SoCal. If true... Long live El Nino!!!!!!! May you return more often.

Well done

why's everyone bypassing the fact that mammoth just set record snowfall during a la Nina. Southern Cali isn't supposed to set precip records during a la Nina.

If anyone was around in march of 1995 can you describe the flooding? I remember someone said we in salinas may become classified as an island again like in 1995 back in january after the heavy rains we concurred. Itd be nice to also know if it was caused by el niño because the graph he showed shows a small el niño in 1995. I want to be prepared if this el niño will be worse than January's flooding if it happens and what are the chances of it being worse than january 2023 or march 1995 in the case that it does occur.

The Australian weather guy says, unfortunately, the Pacific Ocean is hot in a bunch of other places where it didn't used to be, already, which could cause seriously improbable probabilities. 😳 The movie will be called 'El Ninõ Meets Climate Change.' Premieres mid-August. Sneak previews TBA.

More people and more uncertainty

Will it Rain During summer?

Sure. And La Nina was supposed to mean dry winters. How did the 22/23 rainy season with La Nina end? The "experts" really have no clue.

We need another El Nino in California as of today, Saturday, May 20, 2023. Our reservoirs are full but they still did let trillions of gallons flow down the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers to the Delta and out to sea this winter of 2023. We do NOT have enough water storage. They say they will divert water out to areas in the San Joaquin Valley with permeable soil so it can perc into the vast aquifer under there. I have yet to hear reports of where that is being done in the SJV. It needs to be done. Our aquifer, and it has a name, is way lower than it once was. Vast overpumping of it has occurred as ag and cities try to get enough water. In some places, wells 1500 feet deep have been sunk, causing ground subsidence. It is the overpumping of water by those wells that has caused the ground subsidence, not the mere drilling of the wells.

More rain and snow..

Where did he get that suit?!

A thousand miles away

Right now the ocean is freezing in Pacifica.

I need A Blazer!♀️🌐🛡️🤓

The problem isn’t compassion. It is lack of accountability

Maybe El Nino will help get rid of the homeless people in San Francisco. 😅

It's going to have the same impact as it has done a thousand times in the past. Nothing new under the sun.
