Doesn't make sense.
El Nino is an ocean warming phenomenon that causes different weather patterns in different areas. For instance, this year (2015), has seen the development of a strong El Nino and here in New Zealand we are certainly feeling the effects of it.
Now NZ is only 10% larger than Great Britain but we many climatic zones and El Nino produces very different but predictable weather patterns. On our western coasts it's wetter and more humid, but in the east, it's drier, windier and warmer.
Same things apply as far apart as Australia and California. So how could all those different weather conditions, all caused by the same El Nino, be responsible for any specific change in psoriasis?
