La Nina pattern has returned?

Question

NSW has had some wet weather for the last 2 weeks or so, is this a sign that the La Nina pattern has returned to Eastern Australia?

Answer 1

It seems to correlate. There is currently a moderate La Nina going on. You can go here to see a map of typical La Nina effects across the world: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/impacts/cold.gif

Answer 2

Yes it is, the continued drought in the Southeast, very nasty weather for the Northwest and Northeast, I would say that La Nina is here.
