Climate models can't explain 2023's huge heat anomaly - we could be in uncharted territory

Global warming exceeded predictions by 0.2°C last year.
More and better data are urgently needed for accurate climate predictions.

2024 starts with off-the-charts heat in the oceans. Here's what could happen next.

Ocean temperatures are at or near their peak and ocean surface temperatures are "off the chart"
The warmth in the oceans helps control the atmosphere and supercharges wild weather

A New Era in Global Heat

2023 was the warmest year on record, with temperatures 1.48 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.
Every month in 2023 broke temperature records, indicating accelerating global warming.
Factors such as an underwater volcano eruption and limits on sulfur pollution may have contributed to the extreme heat in 2023.

Water content of California's snowpack is well below normal, but a new round of storms approaches

The water content of California's mountain snowpack is only 52% of the average to date.
Last winter had above average snowpack and filled reservoirs, but this year's El Niño has delivered below average precipitation.

Is El Nino's reputation as a legendary rainmaker overblown?

El Niño has historically been associated with heavy rainfall and flooding in California.
Recent El Niño events have been less severe than predicted, leading some to question its accuracy as a predictor of weather in the state.

Editorial: El Nino could help pacify Chicago's frigid winter weather. Bring it on!

Northern Illinois may experience a milder winter due to El Nino.
El Nino's warm waters can disrupt weather patterns globally, but in Chicago, it is expected to bring warmer temperatures and drier precipitation.

What an El Nino Winter Could Mean for California

This winter's El Nino is predicted to be exceptionally strong, potentially ranking in the top five on record.
California has elevated odds of a wetter-than-average winter, with 50-70% of El Ninos since 1950 leading to above-average winter precipitation.
Another wet winter could help return moisture to soil that was parched by years of extreme drought in California.
