The CPC NOAA web site at www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/people/wwang/cfs_fcst/ has umpteen options. Go to the "Monthly-mean spatial anomalies" group and select the button where column "Anomaly" intersects row "T2m". The direct URL for that button is www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/people/wwang/cfs_fcst/images/glbT2mMon.gif It has a 6-month anomaly forecast.
If you believe that forecast, there will be a honking big El Nino during January/February/March 2010, and Western Canada (plus Alaska) will be well above normal temps. The 2010 Winter Olympics in the Greater Vancouver area may have problems with warm temps, lack of snow, and possibly even flooding.
Edited to correct a typo; 2010, not 2009.
