An El Niño climate pattern is in place as Southern California enters winter. What does that mean for weather, storms and rain in LA?
After a long stretch of La Niña, an El Niño seasonal variation is in place as Los Angeles enters its wettest months of the year.An El Niño climate pattern is in place as Southern California enters winter and what are historically the region's wettest months of the year.is a warming of the water in the equatorial Pacific off the coast of South America, typically during the winter months.
The change in ocean temperatures can affect weather patterns across the globe, but no two El Niños are alike. In addition, El Niño is just one part of an extremely complex puzzle that makes up the atmosphere and what we see with day-to-day weather. Our last strong El Niño was in 2015-16 -- one of the strongest El Niños on record -- but it ended up being one of the driest years ever for Los Angeles. One of California’s worst drought years also occurred during a strong El Niño in 1977-77 and the following year, still an El Niño, had more than 31 inches of rain.One of the biggest misconceptions is that every El Niño will be like 1997-98 when downtown LA picked up 30.57 inches of rain.
Also, keep in mind that the odds are working against us. We’ve had more than two years of rainfall in a single season. This was only the eighth time that we’ve had more than 30 inches of rain in downtown LA. In the previous seven instances, all but one year were followed by a drier than normal season.El Niño has been tied to an increase in Pacific hurricane activity, and a decrease in activity in the Atlantic.
No, it is a naturally occurring phenomena. It can contribute to one-year spikes in global average temperatures.It won’t, because it is a warming of the water in the equatorial Pacific off the coast of South America. While it may influence weather patterns around the world, it does not generate storms or weather systems.
