We’re seeing the other side to this El Nino now with a drier, much more settled pattern evolving. High pressure is becoming more established over the UK and Western Europe.
The first half of winter saw a stronger than normal zonal jet with copious amounts of rain, enhanced by the El Nino as now that the El Nino is weakening, so the jet and southern storm track has slowed.
