The phrasing of the headline is a smidge weird. I was like, whaddayamean, gone? Oh, it just ended for now, that's all. I don't know why "gone" hits so weird, but it does.

Didn't we expect La Niña to end about now? I'd read forecasts last year projecting this.

It sure would be truly uplifting news if we could remain neutral and El Niño decided not to show up.
