Weak La Niña to Influence Winter Weather Across U.S.

NOAA has issued an update indicating that a weak La Niña is expected to develop in the coming months, but it is likely to be short-lived and have less impact on global weather patterns, including winter weather in the U.S. Current neutral conditions in the Pacific Ocean suggest that while a La Niña watch remains in effect, the event's influence on typical winter temperature and precipitation patterns may be less pronounced. The likelihood of La Niña forming by the end of December has decreased to 57%.

"2023: El Niño-Driven Global Sea Level Spike"

A NASA analysis shows that the El Niño phenomenon last year led to a significant spike in global sea levels, contributing about a third of an inch of additional rise between 2022 and 2023. This spike, on top of the accelerating sea level rise caused by warming oceans and melting glaciers due to human-induced global greenhouse gas emissions, is unprecedented. Climate scientist Josh Willis emphasized that the natural El Niño spike is occurring on top of the changes caused by human interference with the climate, leading to more powerful storms, higher tides, and increased flooding, serving as a reminder of the significant impact of human activity on the planet's climate.

"El Niño's Impact on US Winter: Uncertain Odds and Unlikely White Christmas"

The latest update from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center indicates that a strong El Niño is currently in place and is expected to persist through winter. There is a 54% chance that it could intensify into a rare "super" El Niño during the November-January period. However, this El Niño may behave differently than past strong El Niños, with indications that it could resemble the 2009-10 event. El Niño can influence weather patterns globally, with the potential for wetter conditions in the southern US and a warmer winter in the northern US. It is expected to transition to neutral conditions by late spring or summer.
