David Fuller's view Among Evelyn Browning-Garriss' recent forecasts, she predicted a difficult spring for crops as La Niña slowly died out but better growing conditions during the Northern Hemisphere's summer.

Unfortunately, as a consequence of the latest volcanic eruption in Iceland, she expects difficult harvest condition in September due to a cold, wet autumn. She is also forecasting another cold winter.

She summarised the problem as a combination of extreme heat in the tropics bumping into extreme cold in the north. This causes turbulent weather conditions for countries in the middle, such as the USA.

The interview is just over 15 minutes and I found it fascinating.
