"The chances of finding out what's really going on are so remote, the only thing to do is hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied. I'd far rather be happy than right any day.""And are you?""No, that's where it all falls apart I'm afraid. Pity, it sounds like quite a nice lifestyle otherwise."-Douglas Adams

Other places it does different things. E.g. La Nina encourages stronger Atlantic hurracaines because it reduces the upper altitude wind shear over the tropical Atlantic that would otherwise tear cyclones apart. El Nino does the opposite. There's been quite a few Cat 3+ 'caines this year. They've just all been "fish storms" so they haven't been as noticed.
I would say that if you are Mexico, you wouldn't call them all fish storms. At two or more storms crossed the Yucatan and hit Mexico.

Snow is just Nature's bleach--kills bugs, disease and hobos.
IIRC the ones that crossed the Yucatan were not Cat 3+. Far as I know all of those were fish storms. The ones that crossed the Yucatan were TS's or Cat 1-2.
