and according to some climate models, he’s ALLEGEDLY going to be ultra hot.
Per, Australia’s Binches of Meterology (BoM) reported that some climate models are pointing towards an extreme El Niño event before the end of the year.
“From July, all but one of the models indicate El Niño thresholds will be met or exceeded, with all models by August,” the
However, the BoM did note that these forecasts should be “viewed with some caution” as these models have a lower forecast accuracy, but in all honesty if someone warns me that it is going to be be sticky and hot, best believe I will be dressing for sticky and hot (and maybe like a thot). Especially after the wrath of the moist La Niña, who had us in her wet clutches for a while.
Speaking with , senior research scientist at US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, , said we “were due” an El Niño event, mentioning that the weather event tends to come along every four years, and that the big El Niños tend to come every 10-15 years.
“The really big ones reverberate all over the planet with extreme droughts, floods, heatwaves, and storms. If it happens, we’ll need to buckle up. It could also fizzle out. We should be watchful and prepared either way,” McPhaden told
The last extreme El Niño event was recorded in 2016, so that 10-15 year mark is slowly creeping up.
Despite the rah rah of it being a “super El Niño”, reported that the Binches of Meteorology, “doest not use the term super El Niño.”
Regardless, once it hits it hits and we will decide if this bitch is super or not.
But for now, we will be stocking up on Zooper Doopers and Bunnings fans.
