The Australian Bureau of Meteorology says its monitoring shows the El Niño weather event is over. But scientists say its effects could still linger over Canada.
“It’s like a teeter-totter going up and down; El Niño was going to end at some point in time,” University of Toronto Mississauga atmospheric physics professor Kent Moore said.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology says the sea surface has been cooling in the tropical Pacific since December 2023, with what it calls the El Niño-Southern Oscillation — describing the switch between the two phases — to remain neutral until at least July, indicating El Niño is over.“It’s on its way out, but there’s a lag,” he said.
“We’ll see the effect of El Niño persist into the summer, even though it’s actually gone away and that’s just because the dry conditions are probably going to lead to more wildfires in the West,” he said.
