El Nino 2024 Update 2024. The ongoing el niño event is expected to last at least until april 2024, influencing weather patterns and contributing to a further spike in temperatures both on land and in the ocean, according to a new update from the world meteorological organization. The 2023/24 el niño event, which helped fuel a spike in global temperatures and extreme weather around the world, is now showing signs of ending.
Despite the expected weakening of el niño’s tropical pacific sea surface signature, impacts to global climate will continue for the next few months. Overall conditions in the atmosphere and ocean, however, indicate the tropical pacific is heading towards la niña conditions.
