Sudden, Radical Drop In The Southern Oscillation Index

Within the last two weeks, La Nina suddenly snapped off, and we are in neutral conditions again! The change is abrupt and radical: in April, the SOI was at the highest level recorded since 1904! Then, wham!

Times are changing again, and a lot faster than anyone expected! Maybe this is the beginning of the end of the Southwestern drought? Maybe it won't be quite as windy and cold as it has been in California, and the Southwest too?
