A first look at the forecast for the winter of 2023/2024 shows the apparent impact of a new El Nino event. There has been a significant change in jet streams from last year, with trends in dynamic weather patterns emerging across the central and eastern United States and northern Europe. The global weather system is complex, with many large and small climate influences. A growing El Nino event will be the main culprit for the 2023/2024 Northern Hemisphere winter season. First, we'll quickly go through the El Nino regions, analyze the latest ocean anomalies, and look at past El Nino events and the weather this winter. We will combine this data and compare it with the latest  long-term forecasts, to see how strong an impact this El Nino event will have on the 2023/24 winter season. (Andrej Flis)
