The latest weather reports said that the La Niña comes to an end, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
As La Niña officially ends, it is expected that El Niño could bring warmer temperatures.
The two weather phenomena play a crucial role in weather events.
Here comes El Nino
Santa Monica, California. As the La Niña ends, it is expected that El Niño could cause hotter and warmer temperatures. Read here.
In the latest report, AccuWeather and NOAA explained the official end of La Niña.
La Niña had been significant in cooling down temperatures. As it is expected to end, temperatures could soar in some parts of the world.
- NOAA explained the likelihood of El Niño's impact on the weather and climate, adding that the warmer event could begin this year or in 2023.
- On the other hand, Reuters reported that El Nino is possible from July to September or forming in summer of 2023.
- Furthermore, the report said that neutral conditions could emerge this spring season.
In some parts of the United States, previous forecasts noted that spring-like temperatures unfolded in the South and Eastern parts.
Meanwhile, AccuWeather said that the weather phenomenon could impact global wind patterns.
The report added US could experience warm and dry conditions in parts of the southern US due to La Nina. In contrast, El Nino could unload a wetter weather outlook.
As a result, homeowners and motorists should keep updated with the weather and the possible impact of El Nino on the weather pattern.
Impact of El Nino
The World Health Organization (WHO) said the El Niño phenomenon impacted about 60 million from 2015 to 2016.
The impact of El Niño could reach parts of the eastern and central Pacific Ocean, Southern Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
The US Geological Survey added that El Niño could warm the ocean surface, possibly reaching challenging temperatures across the eastern and central Pacific oceans.
Meanwhile, United Nations OCHA explained that La Nina could stay longer than the El Niño phenomenon. Both could reach from nine to 12 months.
Forecasts noted that there could be no rapid transitioning of weather phenomena from La Nina to El Nino.
An article published in the University of Arizona explained that El Nino could play a role in flooding and landslides in parts of Africa.
As El Nino could influence rain, the report added that it could increase the risk of water-borne diseases.
Meanwhile, the Guardian showed that challenging heatwaves could emerge as El Nino unfolds.
As the global population suffers from climate change, El Niño could help unleash hotter temperatures and concerning heatwaves.
Warming temperatures could impact aquatic animals that could not survive the extreme temperatures.

OCHA explained that El Nino is not actually due to climate change. Both are considered natural weather events or occurrences.
However, climate change could contribute to warmer temperatures that could devastate oceans, environments and humans.
