There may be near-record (or record, depending on the strength of El Niño) global temperatures.
Following three decidedly cold, wet winters, Metro Vancouverites may finally have the chance to soak in some warmer weather -- or at least see some temperatures closer to seasonal averages.
ENSO is part of the natural variability of the climate system. In El Niño years, there are warmer than average sea surface temperatures over the tropical Pacific, which "increases global average temperatures, as the ocean releases heat into the atmosphere," she described. While there is still a significant amount of uncertainty in this forecast, the models from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration currently suggest that the climate might shift to an El Niño pattern between May and July.
While El Niño refers to warmer temperatures than average in the central/eastern tropical Pacific, these temperature changes can impact weather a long way away, including in the Pacific Northwest.
