El Niño's Arrival: Potential Impact on Global Weather Patterns.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has declared that El Niño has emerged and is expected to strengthen into the 2023-2024 winter season. El Niño typically results in drier-than-average conditions for the Ohio Valley and warmer-than-average temperatures across the northern tier of the country. It also suppresses Atlantic hurricane activity, favoring stronger activity in the central and eastern Pacific Basins. NOAA will continue to monitor El Niño conditions and release updated monthly outlooks.
