I watched the video.
The description "simplistic" would be charitable.

I'm really no expert on this and have been only watching nullschool for a few weeks, are these westerly winds normal or 'el nino' induced??

One would think that after saying the models estimate a 90% chance of El Nino continuing into 2016 they would say something about how reliable the models have been. But since they are always changing the models hope springs eternal.

Once again 90% chance of another El Nino winter"SEATTLE – There's a 90 percent chance El Nino will continue through this coming winter and an 80 percent chance it will extend to early spring 2016, the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center reported Thursday. That means the likelihood of warmer than normal temperatures for the Pacific Northwest, according to KING 5 Meteorologist Rich Marriott. It also means less precipitation but not necessarily less rainfall." www.king5.com/story/news/local/2015/07/09/el-nino-winter-prediction/29917603/OK. What am I missing here?? "Less precip but not less rain".

In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity.[1] The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain,sleet, snow, graupel and hail. Precipitation occurs when a portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapour, so that the water condenses and "precipitates". Thus,fog and mist are not precipitation but suspensions because the water vapour does not condense sufficiently to precipitate.
