Read more about the developing El Nino and the launch of our summer forecasts.

El Nino Update

Welcome, El Nino! Ocean water temperatures reached 1.3 degrees Celsius above average in the “Nino 3.4 region” of the ocean. This means that we are pushing toward a “moderate” El Nino. Look at the red colors below, showing warmer-than-average water.

Why does El Nino matter for us skiers and riders? Changes in ocean water temperature in the Pacific Ocean affect weather patterns around the world. If El Nino maintains its strength into next winter, it could be good news for some regions of North America. For more, read these recent posts about El Nino’s affect on Tahoe and Utah.
