Odds Rise That El Niño Will Soon Bring Weather Extremes
The climate pattern known for intense heat, floods and drought is likely to develop this summer, raising questions about disaster preparedness.
An El Niño climate pattern that is likely to develop this summer may be severe, federal scientists warned Thursday in a forecast that raised threats of record heat, floods and other weather extremes around the planet this year and next.
The Climate Prediction Center, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, issued an El Niño watch estimating a chance of about 80 percent that the phenomenon known for boosting global warmth would arrive as soon as August — a significant change from a February prediction that suggested 60 percent odds that the pattern would develop in the fall. During an El Niño, warmer-than-normal waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean cause weather patterns to shift in ways that drive heat waves, drought and floods globally, but can also stunt the Atlantic hurricane season.

El Niño Coming; What It Means For Summer Temps, Hurricane Season And Next Year?
El Niño is expected to develop this summer, and it could grow into a super El Niño by the end of the year.
La Niña is expected to fade over the next month as waters continue to warm in the equatorial Pacific. The chance of El Niño developing has risen to 62% during June, July and August, NOAA said in a Thursday morning update.
While forecasts are more uncertain in the spring and the strength of the upcoming warming phase remains very uncertain, NOAA is forecasting a 1-in-3 chance of a super El Niño by October, November and December. A super El Niño is defined as water temperatures being at least 1.5°C above average over several months.
