It's been weird in Colorado. We had the wettest June in decades. It is after the 4th of July, and still have not turned on the sprinkler system. Just saw on the news, the entire state is out of drought conditions, when the entire state was in severe drought just last year. The heavy rains started in May. Unfortunately, those rains did overwhelm our old sump pump and our basement was flooded. Note to self, get the sump pump replaced every 7-10 years, not 20 years, and keep an eye on it. Thanks for the info. Been a lot of good stuff. Thanks for breaking it down into easy to understand learning!

The biggest wildfire in recorded US history is the 1825 Miramichi Fire. It blazed through an estimated 3,000,000 million acres and claimed at least 160 lives. That makes it not just one of the most widespread fires, but also one of the deadliest.

I would really love if these videos focused just a little bit on the rest of the world too and what effect el niño has on the rest of the world. Don’t get me wrong this was a great video. Here in Sweden the summer has been increadibly hot so far and there has been very little rain, we’ve had two weeks now with around 25-27 degrees celsius and I live quite a bit up north by the coast where this sort of heat usually only occurs a couple times a year. I would really like a deep dive on the golf-stream for example and how it is affected by climate change and how the nordics could end up under ice again if it is disrupted.

Thanks for this video. It's already been hotter here than usual. We had no spring. We went from cold to hot within a week. Unfortunately I have end stage copd and can't breathe when the air is warm or hot, have to keep the AC pretty low. Do keep the heat low in winter too. My poor hubby wears a sweat shirt in the house year round just so I can breathe. We were going to put solar panels on years ago. The neighbors across the street had them and were getting rebates from the light company. However, we live in an area where we get alot of thunderstorms and the first hail storm we had after they put theirs on was a doozy. They did get the roof and panels replaced by their insurance company and then dropped. When they finally found new homeowners insurance it cost them 4 times what they were paying before. That changed our minds about solar panels. We just invested in a generator that would handle the things that have to be on in case of a power outage.

California actually gets more precipitation during an El Niño event. This sometimes impacts our snow pack due to the warmer temperatures and higher elevation Rain. But the jetstream dips further south during El Niño and causes pineapple express events bringing precipitation from the tropics. La Niña brings drought to California.

note that Arizona is always excluded from discussion in these models, too. they never predict, or account for, the monsoon we get. and even meteorologists in Arizona categorize the monsoon incorrectly, officially recognizing it as a change in humidity. but... it's a monsoon, which is fundamentally a reversal in wind direction. current models have the heat dome over Texas moving straight northward over the course of July. this almost never actually happens, though, because the monsoon starts around July 3rd or 4th, and pulls the air from Texas and New Mexico over Arizona. and one of the driving forces behind this is the increase in water temps in the Gulf of Mexico driving pressure changes which push humid air outward. which means northern Mexico and the Southwest gets a reversal of wind direction. this is also what usually pushes hurricanes that enter the Gulf north into Alabama, Louisiana, etc. it's a generalized outward push from the approximate center of the Gulf. astoundingly, it happens every year, but weather models never predict it, and meteorologists are always surprised by it. and worse, absolutely everything about an El Nino typically drives this more strongly than during other years, but yet again, nobody's predicting or expecting it to happen at all this year, even though it's very likely to start in the next week. so don't be too hard on the content of this video. the industry as a whole is incompetent when it comes to predicting the weather in our part of the world.

It's wild how these weather patterns impact every area so differently. The last few years (during the la Nina) the winters in my area (Maryland) have been extremely mild. Very little snow, hardly any icy conditions and other than an occasional arctic blast, quite pleasant. Historically, after an el Nino summer, we often have winters with record snowfall - so I am going to try to prepare for that to come!

All winter they would spray the clouds (it was obvious), then there would be haze, then it would snow on Weds every week for weeks on end. Then in the spring every day that they sprayed the rain would come...when they weren't spraying early in the morning no rain or clouds would come (but it wasn't very often they weren't spraying). I used to think that was a conspiracy theory, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes repeatedly and the media is admitting to it I am very dubious about the extent of the damage being caused to us and the environment from the heavy metals being sprayed all the time (just google, climate engineering drought in Colorado).

We normally keep a close eye on it here in Australia, the Pacific water is heating up a lot but the Indian Ocean Dipole is still in a neutral phase currently. If that were to remain neutral it can temper the impact of an El Nino. The presence of strong rainfall and cyclones a possible release valve for some additional heat exiting the system. During the most extreme El Nino events we usually have weak monsoon season and low cyclone activity.

El-Nino typically brings drought conditions to eastern Australia which usually starts with a drier more mild winter where I am from in the south eastern corner. So far this winter has not been that way as we have had quite normal rainfall and cold conditions. We will have to see how the rest of winter pans out. We have had very heavy rainfall through the arid interior in the last two weeks which is very unusual and the tropical north that is in its dry season phase is wetter than usual as well and quite a bit cooler. All these things also don't hold with what a El-Nino normally brings.

Decreases hurricanes, but increases tornadoes. For the states, it increase precipitation which impacts heat for the west and south. This means that less ice falls in west, which equals to less running water to drink, shower, and irrigation for people in California for example.

Lake Meredith has refilled after the drought had the marina sitting on the dry lakebed. But they're forecasting less hurricanes due to the wind sheer.

I'm nearly 70 years old and i definitely notice changes in weather, etc. It's definitely warmer in the winters here in Ontario, Canada, than it used to be, for the most part. Summers...not sure. It seems hotter sometimes, sometimes less so. I think we're getting more cloud cover now than we used to, even before our fires in 2023. Thank you for all the info you pull together and altho it's fast, I can follow it. Really appreciate it. (am typing with broken arm, so excuse any errors.

I live in Santa Cruz County, California. History says that strong El Niños usually have substantial impacts on us. The annual rainfall typically increases quite a bit (though I have a vague recollection of a very dry year during an El Niño season); but more critically for us, we get devastating atmospheric river events that cause mudslide mayhem. Half the people that died in the Storm of '82 (Jan 2-4, 1982) died in one enormous mudslide. I'll have to look at more detailed calendars of specific events vis-à-vis the oscillation, because it just occurred to me there may be a detail we have been missing. The current rain season for us had a series of AV events, including a couple of whoppers coinciding with winter tides and extreme storm surges. So now I have a working hypothesis that the worst downpours may be a symptom of the commencement of El Niño and possibly in reflection of the rapidity of the transition into El Niño, which has been extraordinary this year, rather than the intensity or duration. Instead, the intensity and duration of the full-on El Niño season determine total precipitation, number of wet days, and hydrology. Just a hypothesis. I can already feel I'm going to obsess over it, though. 🤓

No, you're talking about eras when humans weren't around. History is a record of things happening since humans appeared - the earliest historical period is called pre-history since there are typically no records and we have to rely on archeological evidence. In many areas, the pre-historical phase takes us all the way up to 600 BCE. Recorded history means those historical periods after pre-history.

Great video! Two things. I live in Central Florida. 1997-1998 was a terrible elnino winter. We were building a house and constantly had delays due to strong storms and F3 tornadoes. Many fatalities where I lived. Also, 2015-2016 el nino, we had few hurricanes and tropical systems. I think the strong winds across the Caribbean kept them sheared off.

Excellent report. Thank you

Thanks DARPA

This is a pretty good analysis for a newbie. Thanks! We in CA do TEND to get rainier than average winters. I say tend to. 2015-6 was an exception. Actually '18-'19 was much rainier than that Super ENSO in '15-16. Why? Well, we think it was b/c of a blob of warmer than average water in the central pacific. That tends to correlate with below average precipitation and droughts for us. High pressure systems build easier in those conditions. But I'm not an expert. Check out other teleconnections like the MJO (Madden-Julien Oscillation), PDO, NAO for starters.

Thank you for your in depth lesson. It's the best one I've seen so far. I usually run ,in my apartment ,two ac window units in the summer. I don't have central heating. Last year in southern California, I noticed a skyrocket in the price of electricity. This summer I though I would try, and make it only running the one ac.This is the first day I've used the one ac. It's 100 today, and at 5 I couldn't take the heat anymore. Tomorrow is supposed to be 107 as is sat. and sun. I cannot imagine next year being worse. I will say this. I have friends in Arizona, and it's 114-117 there. I couldn't imagine it getting hotter there in 2024 fro El Nino. I'm already contemplating moving up to Montana or North Dakota. Lol ..

Brilliant coverage, some of my research shows that these cycles manifest like the butterfly diagrams on the sun, instead of sunspots it shows up as rainfall. The hot-cold cycle is also very similar to the polarity switching on the sun. Another phenomenon is the way magnetic anomalies distribute and move cold air through the atmosphere.

It was great to get to talk to you briefly at Fully Charged South earlier this year. I'm glad to see you are covering this, as despite the alarming evidence, the MSM don't seem to be covering this much. Here in the UK, some of the seas around the UK have been 5 to 6 degrees warmer than is normally expected. Yet our meteorologists don't even give this a mention on weather reports. While we cannot easily predict what the effects will be, it would be very wise to prepare for possible extreme weather events. Some of the things you mentioned would be best practice anyway in a normal year. Stay safe and stay positive. Oh PS glad to see you are coming to see my point of view on SUVs v modern Minivans ie ID Buzz beats any SUV for families and adventures. Love and Peace.

IMHO we were seeing El Niño effects as early as last year in July 2022. Our Monsoon season was one of the strongest I have ever seen. Last October, we were driving from Southern California to Northern Arizona. A monsoon episode followed us starting from Palm Springs to Northern Arizona and did not let up. I figure we were hit by a foot of precipitation on our trip home.

I remember Monsoon being quite wet the year before that as well.

I can't speak for everywhere else, but the desert southwest has had the coolest and wettest year in my 23 years here. A couple hotter than normal weeks in July, then right back to down right pleasant in AZ, NV, and UT. Funny how the media only talked about the temps in July when it was hot, but not the other 30 months of the year that've been cooler and wetter than normal. So much water the biggest reservoir in the country went up 62' this summer.

Thank you again. Your information is helpful. Also that you provide predictors and preparation. Its almost like Nature said hey I am going to take a break from a year or two so here is a bunch of water...use it wisely; cheers. Lol.

I would argue the two hikers who died while hiking, were not a result of the heat wave but either their poor level of preparation for the hike or simply new to hiking. The weather is just there, if someone dies, its without personal reasons. And usually its their fault.

I have a feeling the much warmer than average Atlantic will throw a curveball at us as far as what we would normally expect from a Super El Niño. I speculate that the typical dip in the subtropical jet stream may be pushed further east than with a normal El Niño event, which would change a lot of where we end up experiencing a lot of the dramatic effects. Any thoughts on this from someone with more expertise on this than me?

Its been cold on the northeast. Im in Massachusetts and summer has been freezing. Today and yesterday was the first time it actually felt like summer.

My little Washington town usually gets summer heat that can rival Death Valley, but so far we've had record cold temperatures for this time of year. Unlike last year, where all June we were blasting through record highs. Occasionally it breaks the 60-70°f streaks to have a day of 90+°. But for the most part it's been down right cold. The bright side is our forest fires are down considerably... But we're going to be super hard hit by the el nino heat lol (which according to AccuWeather officially kicks in today). I really need to get around to plugging in my second air-conditioner. Thank heavens we have the cheapest electricity in the US. Lighting is our only enemy on that front.

Canada's wildfires are mostly from the lack of prescribed burns which the US uses when possible to limit these issues, the actually have no nationwide agency in charge . Local fire fighting groups are up against consistent legal challenges to prevent controlled burns and budget cuts nationwide have reduced Canada's ability to respond when fires do break out.
