A La Niña Watch has been issued by NOAA's Climate Prediction Center. But also, we are still in El Niño! Confused? Let the ENSO bloggers explain.
With an analogy drawn from the gym, Michelle L'Heureux explains (again!) how weather (your workout) is not climate (your fitness).
El Niño is near peak strength. Our blogger covers current and potential future conditions in the tropical Pacific.
There's a 54% chance this El Nino, currently strong, will peak as a "historically strong" event.
It's not perfect, but ENSO is still the best tool we have for predicting average winter precipitation over the U.S.
How will the current El Niño impact coastal flooding over the next year? Guest blogger William Sweet and his colleagues discuss how the combination of long-term sea level rise and El Niño have increased the risk of high-tide flooding along both U.S. coastlines.
The chance that El Niño will continue through the winter is greater than 95%. What's behind the forecast? And what could El Niño mean for global temperatures?
The swings between El Niño and La Niña have been bigger in recent decades than earlier ones. Our guest blogger covers new research pointing the finger at human-caused climate change.
The chance that El Niño will continue through the winter is greater than 90%. Our blogger will get you on El Niño's dance card.
Will El Niño push the planet to a new record-high temperature in 2023? Our guest blogger explains what past years tell us.
