El Nino weather conditions, which can parch Asia and bring cooler weather to the U.S., are likely to develop in the coming months as the Pacific Ocean continues to warm, according to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology.
Conditions are likely to approach or possibly exceed El Nino thresholds during late winter to early spring, the bureau said today, citing seven models. Winter in Australia begins on June 1, while spring starts on Sept. 1. The bureau first noted an increased chance of an El Nino developing on April 24.
