La Niña forecast to peak toward end of 2011

[gary]

With events such as rain here in Sydney today and expected all of next week, it is
possibly one indication that La Niña conditions persist in this part of the world.

La Niña conditions have strengthened slightly over the past fortnight, with some, but not all, atmospheric and oceanic indicators intensifying. Forecast models surveyed by the Bureau suggest the event is likely to peak towards the end of 2011, and persist into early 2012. It is considered unlikely that the current La Niña will be as strong as the La Niña event of 2010-11.

So the $64 question is, what will be the trend as we go into 2012?
