“AccuWeather.com Europe Winter Forecast for 2010-2011
By Heather Buchman, AccuWeather.com Meteorologist.
AccuWeather.com Chief Long-Range Forecaster Joe *******i is calling for
the core of winter in Europe this year to target the southern portion of
the continent, while areas from the United Kingdom into Scandinavia that
were hit hard last year catch a break. The major player in this winter's
forecast is the phenomenon called La Niña, when sea surface temperatures
across the equatorial central and eastern Pacific are below normal. Last
winter was characterized by an El Niño, which is the opposite of La Niña
with warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures.*******i highlights
that in past years in which there was a transition from an El Niño to a
La Niña, such as this year, there tended to be unusual warmth north of
latitude 40° north, which includes most of Europe.*******i highlights

This winter, *******i is generally going with this idea, though he is
expecting the above-normal warmth to be a bit farther north. On average,
above-normal temperatures are forecast for areas from the northern U.K.
into Scandinavia. Precipitation is generally expected to be below normal
in these areas.
While winter enthusiasts across northern Europe may be disappointed with
this forecast, many people will probably welcome a break after last
year's harsh winter.

Well if you ignore that little chilly spell at the beginning and the
above average rainfall.
