Climate change may make it harder to predict the most severe of the El Niño and La Niña weather disturbances in the Pacific Ocean. That’s because these events will become less connected with ...

Is climate change affecting El Niño/La Niña? In 2021, the UN's climate scientists, the IPCC, said the ENSO events which have occurred since 1950 are stronger than those observed between 1850 and ...

However, a new study, published this week in the journal Nature Communications, finds that climate change is expected to strengthen El Niño and La Niña events by 2030.

La Niña conditions may develop in the next three months but are expected to be relatively weak and short-lived, according to the latest Update from the World Meteorological Organization.

But amid a relatively weak and brief El Niño in 2018 and 2019, La Niña persisted for three years in what climate scientists called a rare “triple-dip” La Niña, from 2020 through 2023.

The work in Nature Climate Change is the latest and most precise model yet with a resolution of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) in the ocean and 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) in the atmosphere.

There’s also the bigger picture of whether climate change will increase the frequency or intensity of El Niño and La Niña patterns, said state climatologist Nick Bond, also with UW. But the ...
