El Nino powers up as forecasters predict historic strength and a rainier winter for the US South
El Niño is intensifying and projected to reach historically strong levels by fall, with an 81% chance of becoming 'very strong.' NOAA warns of increased risks of extreme weather, including rainier winters in the U.S. South and drier conditions in Indonesia. Scientists note it is occurring amid human-caused climate change and may rival or exceed the 1997-1998 El Niño in strength.
