It is estimated that there is an 84 percent chance of a &#8220;greater than moderate&#8221; El Ni\u00f1o developing by winter, which typically brings wetter conditions to southern California and the Gulf Coast while causing drier conditions in the Pacific Northwest and Ohio Valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The phenomenon also increases the likelihood of above-average temperatures in northern regions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOAA had already accounted for El Ni\u00f1o conditions in their recent hurricane predictions, as it tends to suppress Atlantic hurricane activity but enhances it in the central and eastern Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El Ni\u00f1o is the warm phase of the El Ni\u00f1o-Southern Oscillation, while La Ni\u00f1a represents the colder counterpart with lower sea surface temperatures in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 9, Kathmandu: The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced the arrival of the El Ni\u00f1o climate phenomenon, raising concerns about extreme weather and temperature records.
