No current tropical storms.
El Niño?
Has there been an El Niño over the past few months or not? While some global weather patterns have been similar to what would be expected during an El Niño, the main characters of the phenomenon have not really set in.
This has baffled scientists since computer models had consistently predicted a major El Niño warming event would develop in 2014.
Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology says that temperatures across the Pacific have recently returned to a “neutral” level between what would be considered an El Niño and a La Niña.
But the Japan Meteorological Agency says the atmospheric jury is still out. It predicts there is a 50 percent chance that El Niño will re-emerge during the Northern Hemisphere summer.
