SPRING-SUMMER OUTLOOK 2012 UPDATED 5/17/12

Winter outlooks have become a part of the business of meteorology more than they should be as many are issued too early before the precise status of the various oscillations are known for sure. Even when their status does become more clear, the scientific evidence backing one or another specific type of weather pattern during a weak vs moderate vs strong el nino, PDO, QBO, NAO, etc is still not entirely conclusive. Therefore, all winter outlooks including this one should be taken with a grain of salt and not used for making daily, monthly plans, or seasonal plans and budgets.
