Actual NOAA Data Shows La Nina Weakening to Neutral
Wow the post below from @webberweather is shockingly dishonest. Lying to public helps nobody. Here's the ACTUAL (relative) Nino3.4 data from NOAA, which shows we've gone from strong La Nina 3 months ago to weakly negative (basically neutral) values now: https://t.co/1KQlch8trD https://t.co/UEb9Rcncua
