— NOAA Climate.gov (@NOAAClimate)May 11, 2023 There's an 80% chance the event will at least be moderate and about a 55% this year's El Niño will be "strong," NOAA said. There's also a 90% chance that El Niño will stay in the northern hemisphere throughout the winter. ...
“ENSO has a strong relationship with the global average temperature: in general, the warmest year of any decade will be an El Niño year, and the coolest a La Niña one,” Emily Becker, the lead writer for NOAA climate.gov's ENSO Blog, ...
Both El Niño and La Niña usually last for nine months to a year, NOAA officials said. They generally weaken starting in March. La Niña can often last for longer than El Niño. During La Niña, there was increased drought in the southern U.S. along with heavy rains and floodin...
