Our blogger herds some cats who discover that the strong El Niño was not the only factor driving the forecasted precipitation pattern in winter 2023-24. What else was there?
La Niña is likely for this summer and fall. Our blogger gives you the scoop on the forecast and what La Niña could mean for global weather and climate.
Nationally, winter precipitation was a good match to patterns expected based on past El Niños. Our blogger dives into the details.
