We're following ENSO as it develops here in San Diego. From the San Diego view, it's been weird weather. We've had very high humidity, thunderstorms and big floods in the deserts way west (in our desert, not AZ's), with water closing a major freeway in the desert (I-15 near Barstow) in the past week. There have been big thunderhead in San Diego's mountains. We're also experiencing heat, and lots of it and the ocean off here is some 10-20 deg warmer than normal. There are big sport fishing catches of mahi mahi and albacore swimming close to shore! In short, we've turned into the tropics. --Barry Costa Pierce<sustain@darwin.bio.uci.edu>, http://darwin.bio.uci.edu/~sustain/state/index.html
