THE 3-MONTH CLIMATE OUTLOOK
(FEBRUARY/MARCH/APRIL)
THE OUTLOOK CALLS FOR ABOUT A 40 TO 50 PERCENT CHANCE OF ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH EQUAL CHANCE OF NEAR NORMAL, ABOVE
NORMAL OR BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION.
ENSO (EL NINO SOUTHERN OSCILLATION)
LA NINA ADVISORY
LA NINA IS PRESENT. THE EQUATORIAL SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE
BELOW AVERAGE ACROSS MUCH OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN. THE TROPICAL PACIFIC
ATMOSPHERE IS CONSISTENT WITH LA NINA. A TRANSITION FROM LA NINA TO
ENSO-NEUTRAL IS ANTICIPATED DURING THE FEBRUARY-APRIL 2023 SEASON.
BY NORTHERN HEMISPHERE SPRING (MARCH-MAY 2023), THE CHANCE FOR ENSO-
NEUTRAL IS 82 PERCENT.
