New data reveals 100% chance of strong ‘Super’ El Nino forming this year
A strong 'Super' El Niño is predicted to form this year with a 100% chance, according to new data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. This phenomenon could lead to wetter conditions in the southern U.S. and suppress hurricane activity in the Atlantic. However, the forecast still anticipates a near-normal number of storms and hurricanes for the season.
- ▪The ECMWF's May forecast indicates a strong El Niño could develop by November.
- ▪Typically, a strong El Niño results in decreased hurricane activity in the Atlantic.
- ▪The forecast predicts 13 named storms and 6 hurricanes this season, close to the seasonal average.
