What does another La Niña winter mean for drought-stricken Southern California? Nothing to cheer about.
But Bill Patzert, a retired climate scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who has studied the El Niño-Southern Oscillation for four decades, says the deck is probably stacked for another dry year.
During that time, there were 25 La Niñas and 26 El Niños — so they occurred with about equal frequency. Repeating La Niñas are not uncommon, and occurred most recently in the years 1973-74-75, 1998-99-200 and in 2007-08-09. Repeating La Niñas often follow El Niños.
