From the coasts of South America to the Galapagos Islands, the story of ENSO cannot be told without discussing its impact on marine life. But just as ENSO can affect climate patterns thousands of miles away from the equatorial Pacific, ENSO can also affect marine life. And there is no better example of this than its impacts on Salmon across the North Pacific. In this interview with expert Dr. Nate Mantua, learn all about the complexities of salmon and ENSO.
The August 2022 climate outlook favors a hotter-than-average month for much of the contiguous United States outside of the Southwest where the monsoon is expected to bring wetter and cooler-than-average conditions

The July 2022 Climate outlook favors a hotter-than-average month for much of the country with a continuation of the wet start to the North American monsoon across the Southwest.
Alaska is more than 4,000 miles from the equator. Does the influence of El Niño and La Niña reach that far?
May 2022 was the ninth-warmest May in the 143-year NOAA record. Despite La Niña, there's a greater than 99 percent chance that 2022 will rank among the 10 warmest years on record.
