CANBERRA, April 16 — An El Nino weather event has ended, Australian weather authorities said today, adding that they were uncertain if a La Nina phenomenon would form later this year, as other forecasters have predicted.
The cycle between the two is hugely important for farmers worldwide. El Nino generally brings hotter, drier weather to eastern Australia and South-east Asia and wetter conditions to the Americas, while a La Nina has the opposite effect.
“El Nino has ended,” Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology said, after the weather phenomenon had formed in the middle of last year following three years of La Nina.
Warmer sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific cause El Nino and cooler temperatures lead to La Nina, which a US government weather forecaster this month gave a 60 per cent chance of emerging in the second half of 2024.

The sea surface has been cooling since December and oceanic and atmospheric indicators now show the El Niño-Southern Oscillation has returned to neutral, the Australian weather bureau added.
“Climate models indicate ENSO will likely continue to be neutral until at least July 2024,” it said, using the formal. name, the El Niño Southern Oscillation, that describes the switch between the two phases.
While some climate models predict a flip to La Nina later this year, the bureau said it was uncertain whether this would happen and urged caution about such forecasts. — Reuters
