What of the elusive "El Nino" that Californians hope to see, that will relieve drought conditions - but rarely comes to pass?

Pommie[edit]

I have removed this:

  • Pommie, or Shut Up (strong gusty wind from North West England that persists for an extended period of time)[1]

I strongly suspect this is a hoax. I have searched for another reference to this wind, but can't find one. "Pommie" is of course an Australian term for an English person, and this appears to be a reference to someone from North Western England who never shuts up.--Jack Upland (talk) 05:29, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(bury the lede)[edit]

It strikes me as a bad idea to put the definitions in parentheses, as if the names themselves are all that really matter. —Tamfang (talk) 10:35, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree.--Jack Upland (talk) 06:07, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
