Blue and Green: Noticed any crazy weather lately? You may be feeling the return of El Nio. Scientists announced yesterday that one of the most potent influences on global weather patterns is back after a 5-year hiatus. This article was written by Michael Reilly and first published on Timeline.com. Get Timeline App. A robust El Nio spells a muted hurricane season for the eastern US, and much-needed rains for the west, which has been parched for years. But other parts of the world are likely to face drought, wildfires...
El Nio near-certain to last through summer: U.S. climate center

Reuters: The El Nio climate phenomenon is almost certain to last through the Northern Hemisphere summer, the U.S. weather forecaster said, raising the chance of heavy rain in the southern United States as well as South America, and scorching heat in Asia that could devastate crops of thirsty food staples like rice. El Nio also reduces the likelihood of a busy hurricane season, which lasts from June to November and can disrupt energy operations in the Gulf of Mexico. In its monthly report released...

A strong El Nio may quell debate about a warming 'hiatus'
2015-05-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: Roughly a year ago, scientists poring over temperature readings of the Pacific from satellites and a depleted array of ocean buoys were so sure an El Nino was on the way, the debate was mostly how strong it would be. The event, though, failed to materialise largely because the winds failed to reverse their normal course and blow to the east. Without the reinforcement, the relative warmth of the eastern Pacific compared with the west broke up, and an El Nino did not occur. That false start is...

Welcome to 'Double El Nio' and more extreme weather
2015-03-22 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Public Radio International: Were about to experience a double El Nio -- a rare weather phenomenon that climatologists had warned about several months ago. That means two consecutive years of the concentration of warm water in the Pacific Ocean that brings West Coast storms, quiet hurricane seasons in the Atlantic and busy ones in the Pacific. The danger is that this could mean more than a few months of odd weather, but instead usher in a new phase of climate change. Last year was the warmest year on record; 2015 looks...

Weak El Nio arrives
2015-03-21 02:47:00| Beef
Based on the persistent observations of above-average sea surface temperatures across the western and central equatorial Pacific Ocean and consistent pattern of sea level pressure, we can now say that El Nio is here, explains Mike Halpert, deputy director of the Climate Prediction Center. read more
