CP would (obviously) know more, but I remember the el nino years in the northern U.S. were quite mild.
A tad chilly
Sort:
In the south here we have had record high temps every other day, seemingly.
Today I walked to the pool wearing only shorts and sunglasses.

Yeah, I didn't mention . . . Wednesday (51°F) and yesterday (53°F) were both record high temperatures for the Soo. Both previous records were 46°F. Al could take a walk in his shorts to our Lake Superior pool.
Daily high temps in the Soo from Nov. 1st thru Dec. 24th:
days below normal high T = 5
days above normal high T = 48

Had a very cool Christmas Day here in Perth. 13.3 min 28 C max (55.9 F- 82.4 F)
That's good, kelvin. How does el nino affect your part of the world?

Much drier here. Crazy weather elsewhere. Heard that Queenland is flooding.

I expect the strength of this year's El Nino is pretty much the entire basis for the NWS forecast for the winter. All along since late last summer they've called for the Great Lakes region to have a 60-70% probability of much warmer than normal temps and lower than normal precipitation, and their rolling 3-month forecasts released each month have continued to call for that. The southwest gets the opposite precipitation effect in the long-range forecasts. This was the latest 3-month forecast, released on Dec. 17th:

Some pics from our local electrical utility showing examples of what they've been cleaning up for the past 2 days. There are still zones that won't be restored until Monday or Tuesday.
In parts of the Midwest, a generator is a necessity.

Man, that's just nuts. Why not just stick your head in an oven and get it over with faster?
GF heard me laughing the other day. I was looking at the forecast and the expected high temp for 12-29 was 88F. Meanwhile, the relatives up north are dealing with sleet, snow, and wind gusts up to 50mph.
Kelvin, 41C? Holy cow! How are you faring?
Respond when you get yourself out of the tub of ice.

Good news the temp is going down (a bit ) forecast for today is 37C, right now is 34C 9am.
That's still hot. Is it humid, also, or, is it what we in the states describe as a dry heat?

Funny, is it a litle humid now because of it cloudy today. Perth is a dry heat type.
I don't know what it means over in Australia, but in America hottest does not mean biggest.
That would sure be funny if this winter turns out to be the exact opposite of last year, that is a ton of snow at the end of the season with hardly any before that.
