Reuters: After five years of drought in central Chile, there is a good chance that the El Nio weather pattern could bring much-needed rains during the Southern Hemisphere's winter, the national meteorological service said on Thursday. In recent years, power producers in the world's top copper producer have been forced to rely on more-expensive fossil fuels as the lack of rain has dented hydroelectric generation. Over 40 percent of installed capacity in Chile's central power grid, which supplies electricity...

AlterNet: The year 2015 could see disastrous weather all over the globe caused by El Nio: droughts, high temperatures, heavy rain and floods. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences predicts that the El Nio weather pattern will occur next year. El Nio refers to a recurring weather pattern that develops off the west coast of South America and causes warm temperatures and changes in the climate. Usually, scientists can predict El Nio a few months before it occurs....
El Nio threat turns up heat Australia suffering farmers

Sydney Morning Herald: Farmers and firefighters, already dogged by a hot, dry summer for much of Australia, may face worsening conditions later in the year as prospects grow for an El Nino weather pattern in the Pacific. A series of heatwaves and a spreading drought is expected to cut the output of summer crops by 25 per cent for 2013-14 to the lowest level since 2009-10, the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) said on Tuesday. Victorian fire authorities, meanwhile, continued...

Extreme El Nio events could double over next 100 years, climate experts warn
2014-01-19 23:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Extreme versions of the El Nio weather phenomenon which can bring torrential rains and flooding to one part of the world and catastrophic drought and forest fires to another could double in frequency in the next 100 years because of global warming, a study has found. Scientists have for the first time detected a possible link between increasing global temperatures and the more extreme versions of El Nio, when rainfall patterns across the Pacific shift dramatically from their normal range....
