The winter of 2023/2024 could be a particularly cold one thanks to a weather pattern from El Niño.
It may feel premature to be thinking about snow, but weather experts are already predicting what the UK could be in for this winter.
Previous El Niño years have resulted in colder winters in the UK. According to Professor Adam Scaife, head of long-range prediction at the Met Office, this El Niño will start mild and wet before it turns cold and dry in January, reports BirminghamLive. He added: "It's important to note that this is the average across many El Niño cases and isn’t strong enough to determine the outcome for certain. Instead, El Niño just shifts the probability in favour of these outcomes."
They explained: "During El Niño winters... The largest effect is observed in northern Europe... where winters become drier and colder. A frosty 2023-24 winter season is likely if El Niño ramps up sufficiently by then."
