-QBO/+QBO = easterly/westerly stratospheric winds over the equator. The average period of this oscillation is about 27 months. The -QBO winds average stronger than the +QBO winds. The period of time between the +QBO peak and the -QBO peak is longer on average than the period of time between the -QBO peak and the +QBO peak. I can't tell you why regarding these tendencies or what the mechanism is for the QBO direction, magnitude, time since peak, etc. to affect weather. All I do is look at the QBO table and try to find wx tendencies. It is far from straightforward.
 
Did y'all know Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes were married at one time? They divorced and are both married again!!! Just your daily dose of " As the world turns" on TWC
