It is now widely accepted by climate scientists we are in an el nino weather phase (only conjecture now is whether this natural phenomenon is a below average, average, or above average el nino, re its effects).

Around many parts of Europe, Asia, & USA, well above average temps. are currently being recorded.

I assume air cons will now be having massive usage= higher energy demand= higher gas & coal prices (due to power stations' greater output).

I expect gas & coal prices to rise in the next few weeks (but when will the big fossil fuel stock piles be diminished?)
If not, I will reconsider my investment thesis for WHC. I assume the keenly anticipated good WHC dividend- ex date c.1.9?- would usually add buying pressure to WHC SP, from c.1.8.
