The El Niño weather phenomenon, which contributed to 2023 being the hottest year on record, is showing signs of ending. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations' weather agency have forecasted the return of the cooling La Niña phase later this year. This transition is expected to help lower global temperatures after months of heat records. In India, El Niño is associated with harsher summers and weaker monsoons, while La Niña brings strong monsoons and colder winters. The La Niña phase is also linked to flooding, drought, and hurricanes in different parts of the world. The latest Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) is down to +0.75°C, and ENSO should enter neutral conditions by June or July.
El Niño is on the way out, but don't count on La Niña to halt rising global temperatures, @markgongloff says https://t.co/wj6EdlJwfK
#ElNiño is rapidly decaying... the latest (Mar-Apr-May) Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) is down to +0.75 °C. By next month, ENSO should enter neutral conditions for the first time in a year. https://t.co/aMA6d3Ce5Y https://t.co/27ma5Jxzdz
The latest update from the World Meteorological Organization has predicted the warm, dry El Niño weather pattern could be coming to an end. https://t.co/vNam0VdKVt
The La Niña cooling phase, the opposite of the El Niño warming effect, is typically linked to flooding, drought and hurricanes in different parts of the world https://t.co/hYVJZFLygl https://t.co/HQL4ECbLkM
Sure looks like we'll be officially done with El Niño by the end of June or start of July. Then on to La Niña as hurricane season hits its stride. Here's the daily progression of the Niño 3.4 Region anomalies since the beginning of the year. https://t.co/67mU7Lhagf
Last month that we'll technically still be in "El Nino" conditions. Buh bye 👋 https://t.co/jyGEokK6q2
The three-month oceanic Nino index (ONI came in at +0.7C for the Mar-May period. This is twelve consecutive three-month periods over +0.5C. The streak will end next month (100% chance). https://t.co/3OxOuS3AYF

#ElNino, the natural #weather phenomenon that contributed to 2023 being the hottest year on record, has recently subsided, paving the way for its opposing, cooling #LaNina phase to begin. Here is how the cycle works to affect #global weather https://t.co/7Kn1QkWryE
The return of the cooling La Nina weather phenomenon this year should help lower temperatures somewhat after months of global heat records, the UN's weather agency said on Monday ⬇️ https://t.co/A1rJKoh37o
In India, an #ElNino is associated with harsher summer and weaker monsoon and #LaNina, meanwhile, is associated with strong monsoons and above average rains and colder winters (Reports @jayashreenandi) https://t.co/YnyeHV7RQS
