I learned from Niches that the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center announced this week that “El Niño conditions have developed and are likely to continue into 2007.”
I’ve been spending all my spare time since then searching for data to find out how this is going to, or already has, affected us in Panama. For some time now we’ve thought this rainy season is drier than usual, but I want to find out whether that’s really true.
Bear with me. These data are not easy to find!
