El Nino Outlook on Weather and Measuring Atmospheric Temp

A friend told me that he heard that the west coast of the U.S. may have two more months of this rainy weather we've had for the last 36 days here in N. Calif. It wasn't much better before this period, but we did managed to get in a near 10 day period of above avg. temps in Feb. In his words, he heard it has something to do with El Nino. Any comments on that?

I heard part of a weather announcement a few days ago that said scientists had detected the unusual appearance of warm air above the antarctic. Are there any more details on that. This leads me to ask scientists can detect this? I would think weather balloons, but perhaps satellites too.
