As per an experimental forecast technique utilized by the National Center for Atmospheric Research of the National Science Foundation, recent El Nio circumstances are anticipated to develop into similar to the “great” El Nio of 1997-98.
According to NCAR scientist Stephen Yeager, who assisted in leading the simulation effort, “Our forecast system has proven that it is capable of a surprisingly excellent job of correctly hindcasting past El Nio events whenever we’ve evaluated it using past data, giving us considerable trust in this forecast.”
El Nio of 1997–1998 set numerous records in California.
It all started when an El Nio-fueled hurricane hit Acapulco in October 1997, bringing extensive floods and hundreds of fatalities.
