The latest seasonal outlook from the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center shows Pennsylvania is expected to experience above-average temperatures this spring and summer.
Strong El Niños have recently been observed from 1997 into 1998 and from 2015 into 2016. The increased chance for El Niño comes after La Niña conditions were present for nearly three straight ...
A strong El Nino heavily moderates and changes the storm tracks of what America is likely to face from December to February, with an added warming boost from climate change and record hot oceans ...
Those events were considered by climatologists to had been intensified by the effects of climate change and the 2023–2024 El Niño event. [38] [39] [40] The 2023 Rio Grande do Sul floods had already plagued the state in the month of September prior, a few months into the same El Niño event.
The 2014–2016 El Niño was the strongest El Niño event on record, with unusually warm waters developing between the coast of South America and the International Date Line. These unusually warm waters influenced the world's weather in a number of ways, which in turn significantly affected various parts of the world.
Following the El Nino event in 1997 – 1998, the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory attributes the first large-scale coral bleaching event to the warming waters. [169] Most critically, global mass bleaching events were recorded in 1997-98 and 2015–16, when around 75-99% losses of live coral were registered across the world.
University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann estimates that about five-sixths of the recent warming is from human burning of fossil fuels, with about one-sixth due to a strong El Nino.
Such representations have been applied to the so-called global warming hiatus (blue rectangle with blue dots, in upper right). [35] The warm El Niño year of 1998 was exceptional: the IPCC Third Assessment Report of 2001 highlighted that the "high global temperature associated with the 1997 to 1998 El Niño event stands out as an extreme event ...
