If early forecasts from experts stay on track, a monster El Nino is in the works for 2014.
Years when El Nino has been very active often reduce the chances of a highly active hurricane season in the Atlantic. Meanwhile, those proximate to the Pacific Ocean are at a greatly increased risk of violent weather conditions. For those living in drought stricken areas looking forward to extra rain (the entire Western half of the US, for example) the risk of landslide / mudslide increases greatly.
