Nah, he's blaming baby Jesus.
(For people that don't know: the weather phenomonen El Niño is named after baby Jesus (it means "the (little) boy") because it occurs outside of Ecuador and Peru (so not Mexico) usually around Christmas time. It makes it rain in the dessert areas, but ruins fishing. It takes place in the whole of the Pacific Ocean too, but that's a different story.).
Yes we are still in a drought. We need at least months worth of straight rain to get back to where we should be. As somwone who lives in the central valley, it's sad to see just how everyone measures their water hoping that their well doesnt dry up. And even more so with farmers. If the central valley goes back to the desert it once was then the world loses a big food resource. It's crazy that here in cali we grow a lot of food for a lot of the world and not just locally.
