El Niño Now Forming Could Be 'Historically Strong': What It Means For Snowfall This Winter El Niño Now Forming Could Be 'Historically Strong': What It Means For Snowfall This Winter
El Niño Now Forming Could Be 'Historically Strong': What It Means For Snowfall This Winter An El Niño that is now forming could be "historically strong," according to forecasters. There is a 35 percent chance of it becoming "historically strong" for the November-January season, according to a brand-new update from the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center. El Niño events, which usually form every three to four years, are triggered by warmer surface water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, with warmer water leading to stronger El Niños. The last time there was a "super" El Niño was 2015-2016. Traditionally, "super" El Niños have caused floods, fatal fires, and m…
