Full-Blown La Niña Event Still Unlikely

The latest data from the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean continues to show very little reason to expect a full blown La Niña in the next few months.

The latest data from the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean continues to show very little reason to expect a full blown La Niña in the next few months, according to World Weather Inc. Neutral ENSO conditions are more likely to prevail in the next few months with a slight La Nina bias, but that will not allow “traditional” La Niña weather anomalies to evolve – at least not in all areas of the world.

World Weather notes, “Interestingly, the cold advertised for the north-central U.S. and upper Midwest this week fits very well with neutral ENSO years whereas La Niña years favor the cold in western Canada, the U.S. Pacific Northwest and the northern U.S. Plains.”
