- El Nino powers up as forecasters predict historic strength and a rainier winter for the US South
NOAA predicts the current El Niño is likely to become one of the strongest on record, with an 81% chance of reaching 'very strong' levels by fall. The phenomenon is expected to bring increased rainfall to the U.S. South and warmer winters to northern regions, while also impacting global weather patterns and Atlantic hurricane activity.
- El Nino powers up as forecasters predict historic strength and a rainier winter for the US South
NOAA predicts the current El Niño, already moderate in strength, has an 81% chance of becoming 'very strong' by fall, potentially rivaling or exceeding the 1997-1998 event. It is expected to bring rainier winters to the U.S. South, warmer conditions to northern regions, and reduced Atlantic hurricane activity, with impacts amplified by human-caused climate change.
- El Nino powers up as forecasters predict historic strength and a rainier winter for the US South
NOAA predicts a historic-strength El Niño with an 81% chance of reaching 'very strong' levels by fall, likely bringing a rainier winter to the U.S. South, drier conditions in Indonesia, and a weaker Atlantic hurricane season. The event, already surpassing the 'weak' stage, is fueled by human-caused climate change and could rival or exceed the 1997-1998 El Niño in intensity.
