The U.S. weather agency announced Thursday that the El Nino climate pattern has arrived and is forecast to intensify through December. The agency said the pattern, which is associated with droughts, floods, and higher temperatures, could reach historic strength by the end of the year.
Officials noted that El Nino conditions have historically altered rainfall and temperature patterns in multiple areas. The agency did not provide specific regional forecasts in its Thursday statement. Scientists monitoring the pattern said further intensification remains possible based on current ocean and atmospheric data.
