El Niño is now developing rapidly and long-range data already shows that a strong event is likely, affecting autumn and winter weather.

El Niño is developing rapidly, with an official watch currently in effect from NOAA. A moderate to strong El Niño is expected with global weather impacts in the second half of the year and through the 2023/2024 winter season. Based on the latest global anomaly data, this El Niño may be something we have never seen before in this environment. Ocean anomalies are known to have an impact on the atmosphere and our weather on both smaller and larger scales, especially in the winter when pressure systems are strongest. First, we'll take a quick look at the ocean-atmosphere connection. Then, you'll see how El Niño is currently growing and how it's expected to affect upcoming weather periods, from hurricane season through the winter of 2023/2024. (Andrej Flis, Severe Weather)
