Forecast El Nino Has Arrived; What It Means for the Maritime Provinces
NOAA said there is a 63% chance the El Niño will rank among the largest on record as it strengthens into late fall.
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed on Thursday that El Niño has formed in the Pacific Ocean, with experts forecasting a 63% chance it will reach historic intensity by late fall and early winter.
- This natural warming cycle amplifies a globe already heated by fossil fuel pollution, bringing extra warmth to the surface and fueling extreme weather events globally, especially across the Pacific.
- Michael Ferrari of Moby said grain conditions look favorable in 18 major growing states, though cattle prospects are mixed, while Marshall Burke of Stanford noted above-normal temperatures typically dampen American economic growth.
- United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called the event an "urgent climate warning," as drought-stricken parts of the Middle East may benefit while India and Australia face intensifying heat waves and wildfires.
- Experts forecast 2027 will likely be the hottest year on record due to lagging effects of this Niño, which projections suggest will rival or exceed the record-breaking event that began in 1997.
