NOAA expects neutral ENSO conditions to continue in the Pacific through late 2025, with only a brief, weak La Niña possible ...

Early signs of a possible La Niña fall and winter are emerging in some climate models, federal forecasters announced Thursday ...

ENSO neutral is when surface sea temperatures hover around 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit and is associated with fairly normal winter weather patterns across the U.S. Credit: El Nino 2023 A NOAA projection ...

One of the major reasons is the position of the jet stream, which often shifts south during an El Niño winter. This shift typically brings wetter and cooler weather to the South while the North ...

El Niño and La Niña are absent from the Pacific Ocean this summer—but that could change over the next couple of months.

Instead, we’ll be looking at other phases of weather patterns that are likely harder to nail down this far out from winter. Part of the reason ENSO can be so helpful for forecasting is the solid ...

Winter 2023-24. Most El Niños hit their peak in late fall or winter and thus have their strongest influence on weather patterns in the colder months.

A strong El Niño, potentially historically strong, is possible this winter, according to National Weather Service forecasters. The phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the ...

NOAA and the National Weather Service predict an El Nino weather pattern for this winter. Stormtracker 16 Meteorologist Ally Gallo explains what that might mean.

The National Weather Service issued its seasonal forecasts Thursday, and after observing El Niño indicators throughout the summer, it predicts that we will have an El Niño winter.

O ther factors can and do influence winter weather patterns, including the polar vortex. But if this El Niño becomes strong, this may be the general picture to expect next winter.
