La Niña is the opposite of El Niño. It occurs when the Pacific Ocean cools down. La Niña can cause changes in weather patterns that are opposite of those caused by El Niño, such as drier-than-average conditions in the southwestern United States and wetter-than-average conditions in Australia.

What is the current climate outlook?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued an El Niño watch for the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. This means that there is a 70% chance that El Niño conditions will develop during the coming months.

What are the impacts of El Niño?

El Niño can have a significant impact on weather patterns around the world. Some of the potential impacts of El Niño include:

  • Increased flooding in the southwestern United States
  • Decreased rainfall in Australia
  • Increased hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean
  • Increased drought in Africa
  • Increased snowmelt in the western United States
  • Increased sea level rise

What can be done to prepare for El Niño?

There are a number of things that can be done to prepare for El Niño, including:

  • Making plans for flood and drought preparedness
  • Developing early warning systems for extreme weather events
  • Educating the public about the risks of El Niño
