Does anyone have prediction on what the ENSO conditions will be this year?

I'm thinking negative NAO with a weak La-Nina. Could be wrong but curious to hear forecasts.

It will be a neutral winter without a significant El Nino or La Nina event.

El Nino is the cold one, right? Anyway, my local stations were talking about it a few weeks ago. They said our area was still supposed to be a bit cooler then average because of the remnants or lasting effects of El Nino from last year. They didn't think the Pacific had quite warmed back to where it's supposed to be.

My own personal prediction still stands that we'll have above average temps for the winter season.

El Nino is a warm episode in the Pacific and La Nina is a cold episode.

OK, thank you for the correction. Then just replace LaNina where I said El Nino. They need to give them different names so I can keep them straight.
