El Nino

R & M, it is already here. We have traveled down here together before, it is hotter & more humid than I can ever remeber. You would think its July-Aug not late november. I have never had to use my A/C this much. We have changed plans to dry camp to full hookups because of it. Hopefully it will ease off by Spring. Will show up at your place probably Nov 10th. Plan to cross morning of the 8th, have to drop off my trailer in Bakersfield, stay overnight and boot it up to your place. Get that camper ready, or do you want me to bring the blow up mattress? Have another spot to stay in Grants pass, so we should only need to motel one night. On the way down my sister in law will be with me and she can share driving, so I expect to be back Jan 4 or 5th.

Here in Zihuatanejo, the water is very warm, so warm that there are literally no fish being landed. Sure feels good, though.....

Is there any concern that the forecasted El Nino will hit as far south as Mexico’s Pacific coast?

Forecasted ? It's here near it's peak. It helped form these last two very late in the season hurricanes

wonder how it area will effect quartzite and Parker

El niño is going to hit from Guatemala to Alaska and Canada, so Mexico will be affected, lots of rain, maybe snow in the Sierra Madre Oriental.

The further south you are, the warmer the ocean will be. No question this, most powerful ever, EN will impact Mexico and every other country south to the equator and beyond. Lots of good info out there about specific, local impacts for this half of the planet. Ya gotta love Google. Expect weather extremes and hope to be disappointed.

While typically EN's impact is most often felt during the winter this year's event has been active for several months already and last time I checked my calendar winter was still 2 weeks+ down the road. California, just to name one area in the crosshairs, will likely have far more problems from too much water/precipitation and the resultant flooding, mudslides etc. than the drought.

Hang on to your socks folks, it is going to be a wild winter!
