US weather agency on La Niña watch but BOM says climate pattern not guaranteed​

4 hours ago​

By climate reporter Jo Lauder​


We're still technically in an El Niño period and already the first weather agency has put the world on watch for La Niña.

The United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced it is officially on La Niña watch and stated that the current El Niño is weakening and likely to end this autumn.

The last "triple dip" La Niña in Australia — between 2020 and 2022 — contributed to billions of dollars in damage from flooding and extreme rain across much of eastern Australia.

For Australians already grappling with a summer that has defied expectations, the news we could face La Niña again so soon may spark fears about the year ahead.

But before you freak out, it's important to understand what goes into these predictions, and why Australian climate scientists are still monitoring the situation before any local warnings are sounded.

What is La Niña?​

La Niña, El Niño and their lesser-known cousin, "neutral", are the phases of a natural climate cycle that affects weather around the world, especially in Australia. They're known as the El Niño-South Oscillation, or ENSO.

In Australia, La Niña is traditionally associated with cooler, wetter weather, whereas El Niño usually brings drier and hotter conditions.
 
44F and partly cloudy with a high in the low 60's predicted - too warm too soon.
I know what you're saying - it's been wildly mild here - no snow, the lakes are barely frozen, snowmobile trails are only open in the far north and even then they are not the best. I am extremely anxious about summer - I hope I get hay this summer, I fear it will be a very hot dry summer here.

I know I say I am happy with this mild winter, but in reality it is just not good for the plants and animals here that have adapted to have cold snowy winters.

Interesting - they are already calling for La Nina here later this summer, which will mean more wet weather, and a colder winter.
