El Niño / Climate Change
El Niño is back, and global temperature records are in danger

property on June 7, 2005, in Leigh Creek, Australia. Australia endured its worst drought in decades due to the combined affect of increasing
temperatures and the El Nino weather phenomenon.
Drought in Australia; an end to drought in Brazil; poor crops across Asia; record global temperatures. If you start hearing about these in the next year, remember this news from the week:
El Niño is back.
That's the word from scientists who have been watching the tropical Pacific. Surface temperatures there are going up, winds are shifting and that could mean big weather-related changes around the world over the next year or so.

These links say we have record cold temperatures.

Hopefully no hurricanes hit us.

We (Oahu) keep dodging them. We're overdue for one, yeah?EITSwarrior wrote:Hopefully no hurricanes hit us.

Our State does need the fresh water to replenish the aquifers. Stock up on emergency supplies. When the time comes, stay safe my friends.

Our aquifers are full.

Great! I need to wash car and water the lawn!

Re: El Niño is back, global temperature records are in dange
Oahu hasn't been hit by a hurricane recently, but a couple, maybe a few, tropical depressions has grazed or hit Oahu in the past couple decades. Now with the water temperature in the Pacific rising, look for those storms to stay at tropical storm or even hurricane strength longer rather than weakening. Hopefully that won't happen, but the odds of a hurricane level strength storm looks to have increased.808Hawaii wrote:We (Oahu) keep dodging them.

A storm is forecast to form to the east of the islands in the next few days.
Re: El Niño is back, global temperature records are in dange
I think it disappeared. I don't know about everyone else but I get concerned when storms develop near us.

El Nino Gains Strength as Pacific Warms Just Like It’s 1997
by Phoebe Sedgman
June 22, 2015

weather pattern. Source: NASA/JPL/AFP via Getty Images
“It is unusual to have such a broad extent of warmth across the tropical Pacific,” the Melbourne-based bureau said in its fortnightly update on Tuesday. “The last time this occurred was during the 1997–98 El Nino.”
El Ninos are caused by warmings of the Pacific, and they can spur turmoil in farm markets as growers contend with drought or too much rain. Their impact can drive faster inflation across Asia as food costs rise, and may also extend to metals markets. The current event is the first since 2010.
