I listened to the Julia Slingo interview at the time and the BBC headline is quite misleading and a perfect example of the point John Nielson-Gammon makes below. The Weather Trap, by John Nielsen-Gammon http://climatechangenationalforum.org/the-weather-trap-by-john-nielsen-gammon/

Thunderstorm at the moment.

That observation is almost worthy of one of Anthony's acolytes.

Purely as a matter of interest why do you expect this trend to reverse? I mean isn't this a pretty good idea where things are heading? I mean 35 years!!

(Reuters) - Brazil's largest city, Sao Paulo, is on the verge of water rationing because of a severe drought and shortages are seen possible when the country hosts the World Cup football tournament in June and July, according to a non-profit group that monitors regional water resources. An unusually strong high-pressure system over southeast Brazil has blocked the summer rains in recent weeks, causing Sao Paulo's main reservoir to fall to just 20.9 percent of its capacity as of Wednesday, its lowest level in a decade. January was the hottest month on record in the city and meteorologists expect little rain or relief in the next week. http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/02/05/uk-brazil-water-worldcup-idUKBREA141WV20140205

Latest wrap-up from BOM ENSO expected to remain neutral at least through autumnIssued on Tuesday 11 February 2014 | Product Code IDCKGEWWOO The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) state is neutral, with climate models suggesting neutral conditions will persist at least until the end of the austral autumn. However, some warming of the Pacific is likely in the coming months. Most international climate models surveyed by the Bureau suggest the tropical Pacific Ocean will warm through the austral autumn and winter. Some, but not all, models indicate central Pacific Ocean temperatures may approach El Niño levels by early winter. Model outlooks that span autumn tend to have lower skill than outlooks made at other times of the year, hence long-range outlooks should be used cautiously at this point. Neither neutral nor El Niño states can be discounted for the second half of 2014. In the last fortnight, a westerly wind event over the far western tropical Pacific led to some warming beneath the surface of the tropical Pacific Ocean, though surface temperatures remain close to average. The current high values of the SOI are expected to reduce as recent volatile weather near Darwin and Tahiti eases. The Indian Ocean Dipole is typically too weak to have a significant influence on the Australian climate from December to April. http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/
