We just got out of an El Nino event.
I have not researched this persons comment to verify what he said, he wasn't a weather person.
If it is so then it is not the way these oscillations work at all from my research on weather patterns of the past.
There are from what I can remember so called normal years in between.
From the last few years it seems to be feast (rain) or famine (drought). 
Some plants can deal with it others cant.
Last spring (feast) put the hammer to my rosemary big time.

It depends on the strength of the event. Coming out of a Super Niño like last year chances are high that you go into a strong Nina the following year. We had a very weak Nina over the winter and already we are in what is considered neutral conditions. Forecasts are showing going back into Nino this summer, but that is not a lock.
