What El Niño has to do with tornado weather In late 2023 and early 2024, much of the world experienced above-average temperatures, likely linked to global climate change and exacerbated by El Niño.

Forecasters say El Niño, a climate pattern known for warmer ocean temperatures and increased rain and snow, is likely here to stay until early 2024.

In the past, a strong El Niño has led to record global warmth. The climate pattern is one of the main drivers of weather in the U.S.

Climate scientists say El Niño will probably push average global temperatures beyond a record set in 2016.

KGUN 9's April Madison explains the difference between El Niño and La Niña, and how the two patterns impact monsoon in Southern Arizona.

Historically, La Niñas have produced busy tropical seasons, while the opposite is known to be true during El Niños - when conditions are typically hostile for cyclones in the Atlantic basin.

The upcoming hurricane season may be during an El Nino pattern, which tends to favor stronger activity in the Pacific and weaker activity in the Atlantic.

An early bird El Nino has officially formed, likely to be strong, warp weather worldwide and give an already warming Earth an extra kick of natural heat, meteorologists announced.

Officially, the Atlantic Hurricane season starts June 1 and runs through the end of November but as we all know, Mother Nature works on her own time schedule.

Long-range weather forecasters at NOAA released predictions for the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, which officially starts June 1.
