#ElNino #ENSO #WinterOutlook On the eleventh of June, two thousand twenty-six, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared that El Niño had arrived, the first warm phase of the Pacific in about two years. This report explains how the event formed, why its early strength is unusual, with a better-than-even chance of reaching the very strong level by winter, and what its developing grip means for America, from a wetter southern tier and a milder north to a quieter Atlantic hurricane season and a warmer world.
