Fresno Bee: Will the drought ever really end? California hopes for a sodden winter of El Nio-spawned storms. If they come, our near-empty reservoirs may fill to the brim. But will the rain and snow be enough to replenish underground basins sinking from years of desperate pumping? Will that be enough to coax wary farmers to plant acres of tomatoes and melons again on fallow land? Will farmworkers find jobs close to home and rural residents see water tables rise to reach their wells? Will the synthetic...
Massive El Nio sweeping globe is now the biggest ever recorded

New Scientist: The current extreme El Nio is now the strongest ever recorded, smashing the previous record from 1997-8.

Heat records smashed again as big El Nio rides on global warming

Sydney Morning Herald: Worldwide temperatures last month soared to new heights for October, boosted by the second-strongest El Nino on record, adding to the likelihood that 2015 will also smash annual heat records. The amount of heat required to warm up just the top two metres of the El Nino hot spot in the Pacific has been calculated at 100 quadrillion kilojoules - or about the total annual energy use in the US. Average surface temperatures worldwide were 0.53 degrees above the 1981-2010 average and the warmest since...
El Nio strengthening, will be among biggest on record: WMO

Reuters: The current El Nio weather pattern, a phenomenon associated with extreme droughts, storms and floods, is expected to strengthen before the end of the year and become one of the strongest on record, the U.N. weather agency said on Monday. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said this El Nio was already "strong and mature" and the biggest in more than 15 years. The phenomenon is driven by warm surface water in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and this time three-month averages will peak at...
