NOAA says El Nino has formed and is expected to strengthen
It’s official, per NOAA: El Niño is here, and there’s a high probability (63%) for one of the strongest El Niño events since 1950. El Niño leads to a major domino effect of global weather, increasing chances for a snowy winter (‘26-‘27) for southern Colorado in particular. #COwx
Slartibartfast10It feels bad to say it, as I know the impacts will be bad for a whole lot of people, but for people in the western US, the main impact will likely be relief from an extreme drought that has threatened to run the entire Colorado River system dry.

Rocky Mountain Lady4Hopefully, we'll get that effect farther north also. We really need the moisture! I'm in Evergreen.
NotCIAreally3Fossil Fuel Industry and Climate Change Deniers are killing The Earth. This bothers me because I live on Earth!!
1/ El Niño has officially developed in the eastern Pacific, according to NOAA. Per the Climate Prediction Ctr, there’s a 63% chance of this El Niño becoming very strong, or “super.”
UCS Climate & Accountability Campaigns62/ The combo of fossil fuel-caused climate change and a potential super El Niño event makes a terrible team. Global temps could easily reach record levels this year and/or next. Check out Marc Alessi’s blog post on this:
