I have an idea...how about losing the fear mongering and give people some perspective on what's going on. Just a few points would be, the higher levels of CO2 during past ice ages, periods warmer than today (in just the last few thousand years) with less CO2 in the atmosphere, that the overall amount of ice on the planet hasn't changed, that sea levels haven't risen and finally that fires are so common and have happened for so long in Australia that a large percentage of the plants there need smoke residue in the soil for their seeds to germinate. And FYI, the southwest US is desert, a place of perpetual drought (I know, I live there)....although in 2022, we received almost double our annual rainfall (despite being a La Nina), most likely caused by the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption injecting so much water into the upper atmosphere....oh and that the "bathtub ring" on lake Mead was caused more by water storage mismanagement in California, than by any other factor. Maybe talk about the true nature of CO2 and how it affects temperature (reference Freeman Dyson & William Happer, both respected physicists from Princeton) or how life has absolutely flourished with up to 10 times the current amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Also, the fact that this is the first interglacial period where humans kept track of climate and that CO2 levels prior to the industrial revolution were within 30 ppm of plant death. Lastly and probably most importantly, the affects of how the solar and Milankovitch cycles change climate and the comings and goings of ice ages. Climate change is not something to fear and as you said at the end of your video, we and the rest of the planet are adaptable. However, there are a lot of more serious and immediate issues that need to be addressed like pollution, over fishing and nuclear war. ✌
I’m afraid this content is highly misleading. TH-camrs who lack the relevant expertise risk misinforming the public if they fail to consult an expert. Your opening comments in this video are a case in point. The climate impacts experienced during an El Niño or La Niña event are not the product of ENSO alone - they are a consequence of the superposition of natural climate fluctuations, including ENSO, on top of human climate change, and since the latter is now the dominant driver of changes in global average temperature and associated shifts in the severity of climate extremes, you cannot imply, as you do, that recent ENSO associated weather extremes are just a consequence of natural cycles. They are not. If you want to be the goto source of accurate information on climate science I suggest you revise the voice over on this content or delete it.
I live in Peru and can confirm, this year El Niño is firing up and has already had some very heavy rains with floods. Here in Lima it rained for 5 nights straight, unheard of in my 14 years here. My concrete ceiling dripped for the first time ever. Really glad you shined a more objective light on this as you always do
@@Alexis-lg3dq means we were taught this in school how El Niño and La Niña work and how it affects the whole world and even if you don’t get taught this why would you assume something like this only affects on tiny part of the world without the butterfly effect ?
I really like your presentations. The calm and not so rapid transitions. Not only in the visual but also listening to you talk human instead of a hyper theatrical repetative robot. Thank you.
I am from the Philippines and I noticed that during an El niño event typhoons tend to form near the central Pacific ocean which causes them to intensify more as they are likely to stay over the water. On the other hand, during a La niña event typhoons tend to form near the Philippines which makes them less likely to intensify as they immediately land on land shortly upon forming.
from my quick research though, El Nino and La Nina just change where typhoons form El Nino storms usually form near the equator (around Mindanao) while La Nina storms form around the east of Visayas or Luzon intense storms are possible with either seasons
In India, we are having one of the weirdest weather conditions that I have ever seen. It's peak summer time, but instead of complete dry weather and temperatures going upto 45-48°C in central regions, we had rains almost every day in April with temperature not going above 40. Same is happening in May as well. This might affect monsoons later, which is a big worry for most people in India.
@@reeyees50 Mud huts and sheds for cattle keep the temperature in the 20s range while its 45 C outside. And for us people we use evaporative desert air coolers and occasional dips in the local pond.
1998's El Niño in the southwest was amazing. We had mudslides, flooding everywhere. I was too young to understand the dangers, so it just seemed like a really special, cool year with tons of rain. Hoping we can offset the long drought even more this year since it's been forever since we had that kind of rain!
I'm excited as well. Been through the 97/98. Something about that one was magical because most of us only had radios and gas stove to cook. No lights for weeks. Just family bonding through water lol. Then it snowed as well which was so freakin cool at age 12.
Same here. I remember camping with my dad and uncle and they were screaming, “el nino is Spanish for… THE NINO!” during an intense storm on the Mongollon Rim.
as an aussie. The time of La'nina has been amazing. There is nothing better than seeing nature recover, birds, insects, trees etc all alive and amazing.
The person who wrote this should write every single schoolbook from Pre-School through college. The way everything is described and visualized is so incredibly clear that you capture it the first time. Bravo!
@@elinope4745 The point is that this guy is so clear in the details that you don't miss anything. All subjects should be taught this way when first learning a topic and even later until the student reaches a point of understanding of the foundational aspects of the topic. At that point, they can branch out in any direction that favors their learning style.
It would be banned in most public schools. It’s far to realistic in explaining weather patterns. El Ninio is caused by cars and lawn mowers not millennial old patterns.
Totally true!! Are you talking about the schools that are now forced to say that "slavery had it's perks for the slaves" or the ones banning books?@@apollomoon1
Canadian here. I can only hope an El Nino will bring wetter weather for the central prairies. These last 3-4 years have been the driest and hottest we have seen in recent memory. The ground didn't even freeze this winter because there was no moisture in the soil to speak of. We were seeding wheat today and had to plant as deep as our machine could just to get some slightly damp soil. Only 2 ml of rain in the forecast for the next three weeks just won't cut it. There were no April showers to bring May flowers.
It’s quite interesting… a couple years back maybe 3 here in the Yukon we hit super high temperatures at 31C, Something I’ve seen before in my life living in the Yukon but I’ve never seen that temp stay around for more than a week. then I think a year or two after that heat thing we had a huge dump of snow in November like how it always was when I was a child. That was one of my first real “snow days” where many students and workers stayed home (not me though of course 😅) . I think the other records for much snow fall were in 2013 and 1970s… crazy. So many things happening lol
@@sophiophile yupp it’s already starting to effect Kluane national park and wildlife will have to more into different environments for water resources as Kluane lakes gets smaller. the slims river is changing as well in what’s called “river piracy”. It will also affect the life’s of First Nations people that travel on the water to hunt in which will they won’t be able to do in the future with the glaciers melting.
ASTRUM! I'd like to take just a moment to express my appreciation for your consistent excellence. Always one of the most interesting, thought-provoking content that the layman of any subject can readily comprehend, your communication of ANY subject provides valued knowledge that most can grasp in earnest. A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL INVOLVED!
Great video! I’m a huge weather nerd and of course love all your space videos as well. I live in Buffalo, NY and La Niña can play a big role in generating Lake Effect Snow here. A phenomenon that doesn’t happen in many places. We had two very big events this last winter that could have been influenced by La Niña, which may have helped set up these two massive storms. I live just south of Buffalo, about 15 minutes or so. We were hit the hardest both times with up to 7 FEET accumulating in the 1st epic storm. Snowfall rates of over 6 inches per hour were reported! The second storm dropped about 4 Feet, however, this storm was a true Blizzard that lasted 2 solid days. Heavy snow and winds in excess of 70 MPH had devastating impacts on our city. It was a historic winter and a weird one. Despite the two massive storms, we ended up having somewhat of a mild winter and did not experience much snow outside of these events. If interested, go look up these two storms that occurred in November and again, around Christmas. The story won’t disappoint! Thanks again for all your amazing videos! I always get exciting watching them. You’ve got a gift my friend! 😁
Hello fellow person who lives near Buffalo! It was an unusual winter for sure. You know the snow is bad here when schools and stores are actually closed haha.
yes, winter was mild down state, WAY more rain that snow - so it's not surprising that outside of the lake affect on two storms, it was mild not TAHT far away from us down on the island.
Yep! The weather has been VERY wacky in MANY places. Increasingly so year-after-year. For anyone who has a few decades under their belt they have witnessed the changes in their lifetime.
716 fam! that christmas weekend blizzard was the wildest thing ive ever seen, I live north of Buffalo and was right on the edge of the lake effect band for a full day. couldn't see across the street for 2 days straight
I don't appreciate the click bait attitude of this video. There's nothing new or sinister about the El Nino. Not is it accurate to describe it as an event. It's the ebb and flow of Earth's dynamic weather system, nothing more.
I am a volunteer firefighter from eastern Australia. I follow the ENSO cycle very closely every year and I am a little worried about this coming summer much and hope we don't need a repeat of 2013. Three back to back La Nina events have caused record growth in our grasslands in eastern Australia so an El Nino in 2023 may prove to be a busy year. This will be different to the 2019-20 season you mentioned as that was following a catastrophic drought spurred by an IOD positive system (perhaps an idea for a future video) Thank you for covering the global affects of the ENSO cycle. We are taught a very Australian centric view of the cycle and I can say I learnt alot about impacts on the Americas.
You dirty Abos are all gonna burn! Get that hose ready boy because you have not seen what's coming despite your extensive research regarding weather patterns. When the trade winds blow all shall be cleansed and filthy Oz usually is tops on that list!
Also all the burned areas as well as unburnt vegetation have grown so much that people say there is more fuel load than before the 2019-2020 fires. Any el Nino will dry out all this vegetation. This could lead to even larger and more fires across Australia again.
I’m worried to. South Australia has had a very wet year and they are already doing control burns here ready for summer. Thank you for your service! Bless our fire fighters and cfs
During the ‘17/18 El Niño I volunteered just north of SF, CA at a marine mammal rescue. We had much larger numbers of injured animals that year (we were primarily equipped to care for pinnipeds). Such an impact to that ecosystem that most land mammals weren’t aware of.
As a California kid in the 90s. El Nino brought so much water, Freshwater fishing was so much fun. We were literally fishing from trees! Canyons were super lush as well.
Great video. El Niño is something I dread as an Australian farmer. Water is the most important resource that needs management and protection in Australia
Put a magnifying glass into orbit and point it at the north pole to melt the ice, build an aqueduct from the north pole to the desserts of the world, problem solved. New landmass exposed - Greenland (perhaps anarctica), unusable desserts terraformed, win win.
El Niño is something I've also learned to dread. My uncles & aunts were all farmers, surviving on tank or dam water. Ground pumps were unreliable, or inoperative. I still remember the cows, sheep, and horses following us on daily runs in the ute when all ran dry. Or finding those who'd succumb to thirst.
I'm from Rio de Janeiro and now I understand why the weather is much more pleasant in the region where I live when the La Nina weather event occurs, but I had no idea that it was the opposite for other regions of the world. Very interesting to understand how our planet is so complex and every event happens for some reason, many still not really understood
I live in Indonesia, and La Niña explains why clear blue sky is a rarity here in the last few years. As much as I hate the constant downpour, news of upcoming El Niño is terrifying. I was a kid during the megadrought in 1998. I remember my parent's constant worry over water & food availability. I suspect the drought is one of several factors which bring political instability & social upheaval during that time. At the least, it brought the national mood to a downward spiral. I sincerely hope it won't get that bad ever again. But considering what we've done to the planet, that is a tall order.
while as a farmer living in a small town next to Surakarta i'm loving our consecutive 'wet' dry seasons, i miss the day i can pluck out ulat jati pupae and cook them. idk. maybe it's just me being weird
California seems to be one of the few places where El Nino is almost completely beneficial. It does cause late-summer coastal heatwaves, but the rain it brings counteracts many of the negative summer impacts.
The downside is that all the lush greenery that grows because of the rain then dries out in the summer and in it’s large quantity, serves as fuel for the summer wildfires. That, and mudslides from the rain. As a SoCal native though, that rainy season is amazing and makes for such a beautiful Spring.
Very bad for Eastern Canada. Strong SW winds in December. NEVER seen that before here where i have lived over 30 years. Then Ice storm in the first week of April. Who could've thought of that. Knocked our power for 5 days. Thank God it was in April and not in January.
As a chilean, the weather & climate patterns of my country have been forever linked to ENSO. I grew up hearing news forecasting ENSO-related events, and I'm old enough to remember that 97-98 event. It wasn't as catastrophic as our brothers in Perú and Ecuador had it, but DAMN it rained a lot.
absolutamente todas las nacionalidades de esta sección de comentarios llaman a este fenómeno por su nombre: "El Niño". Pero tenía que haber al menos un tonto que se ha tragado la propaganda cultural anglosajona y lo llama "ENSO". De Chile, cómo no 🤣
@@marcosvidal4940 Y a ti quién te pateó la jaula? Quizás si hubieses puesto un poco de atención al video, sabrías que El Niño es sólo la fase cálida del ENSO.
I'm in California in 1995 and 97 we had massive flooding . The water Temps off of San Francisco were 74 degrees! Normally it's 54 degrees. We were catching tropical Hawaiian fish off of a normally cool climate in northern California coast
@@marcosvidal4940 De hecho la sigla en Español es ENOS (El niño oscilación - sur), que es lo mismo que ENSO (El niño southern oscilation). No hay necesidad de ser tan desagradable.
I live in the Philippines and I genuinely thought we were experiencing El Niño already with how hot it was, only to find out things were going to get worse 😊 Plus, until recently, I thought El Niño and La Niña were universally considered as bad things, so I never realized that some people actually didn't suffer due to it based on their country, or even benefited due to it. The more you know I guess, though it does make me a little sad that once again, we get the short end of the stick, lol.
I live in Southern Africa, in 2017 El Nino hit and I lost 1,5 million dollar crops. Took two years to recover including all costs on and off the land. The dollar is like 1 to 10 where I am from so it was quite hectic. Good and bad I guess.
@@aascsvc.. Well you see, some countries are rich agriculturally based on the land, weather etc. but lacks Infrastructural growth, fair global trade off, you can't have them both
I applaud you for making this type of video. It's relevant, topical, and important. I love all of your astronomical videos, of course, but this just shows you are a student of multiple disciplines. I just graduated with an Environmental Science degree from Iowa State University, so I've been studying a lot of stuff connected to this video
With all these types of videos, I still try and see it from an astronomy perspective - studying Earth as if we were studying the weather of Venus from space, kind of thing. I try and have a more zoomed-out perspective when showcasing these things.
Northern Sydney Australian here. This year, we get El Nino drought and duststorms. Last 3 years, La Nina drowned significant parts of the country. The year before that, the bushfires (wildfires) were so widespread and frequent it like half the country was on fire at once. I live several metres above flood levels to date. Don't know how long it will before the floodwaters comes up to my eaves.
I'm from the Dominican Republic, and I remember as a kid hearing adults talk about El Niño as a terrible thing. It meant that the temperature will increase to almost not bearable conditions and the worst tropical hurricanes will come that year. There was a very bad hurricane called "Hurricane George" in 1998 that destroyed many highways and bridges by the floods of all the rain and wind. I didn't have any idea that these climate things were affecting the entire world, it makes me feel more connected somehow. Thank you for the information.
I live in Australia and it is the second year that in summer I had my lawn in the garden staying always green! Usually in summer the lawns are really dry and brown everywhere, you won't ever find a green patch unless you water daily your garden which is not permitted in a hot normal summer!
Dearest fellow Australians, Apologies for the spam but I feel this is important. The amazing boom of plant life we have received as a result of the La Nina's if a greet blessing indeed. We can keep it but it must be carefully managed. The time is now, we must demand the restoration of bush clean up crews canned buy governments on cost. Demand the reform of red tape policies in regards to private land controlled burns. Increase the use of strategic fire breaks. Most importantly of all we must increase the use of Indigenous fire management. Well there were no doubt catastrophic fires prior to European arrival. It is proven that this practice greatly reduced them. This is also an opportunity for needed Aboriginal employment, and others as many hands are needed. I say this as a humble horticulturalist who deeply appreciates Australia's unique botany and everything that comes with it. Botany that has the presence of fire written in its DNA, but would much rather not be hit with a massive fire storm. It is not enough for Governments ( any governments ) to say prepare your homes. They have in my opinion atrociously neglected this issue with red tape and hand sitting. It is not enough. Time to get pestering Local, State, Federal both isles. Give them hell before hell starts in the Bush, Kind Regards.
I just started recently hearing and learning about these weather patterns/cycles. Its weird it took until 2023 for these to become so widely known. And then I happened to be taking a Geography class and learned even more about it, and it was definitely fascinating. Makes you really think alot more about the weather and earth in general.
I think you have been living under a rock because i recently Turned 20 and im certain I've heard of this el niño/la niña thing for a couple of years now.
This was all taught to us in geography classes when we were 13.. Im surprised there are adults out there who have no idea how monsoons function around the world and in their country.
As an Indian this is extremely worrying. The population here already struggles with the effects of global warming. As this is a largely agrarian civilization I feel for the farmers here. Looks like everybody here needs to be a bit considerate of their consumption the next few years.
Another exceptionally clear explanation of a fascinating topic. Marvelous meteorological graphics (and some smooth segues too). Astrum is such a classy production.
I grew up in New Zealand. Many think NZ as a country without disruptive weather, but that isn't the case. Floods and droughts occur, along with catching the tail end of cyclones, and they are huge weather systems which are devastating. Just ask those that live on any Pacific island. As a child the weather was fairly predictable, now it is noticably more chaotic. Seasonal variations feel more exaggerated with anomalous storms, or heatwaves, more common. Understanding the oceans is helping to prepare people for these fluctuations, but it is scary to see how much warmer the ocean temperatures have risen recently and predictions on how that will intensify the weather patterns and sea life loss. At a basic level that puts food security as the number one priority.
Same here in Australia, summers were hot, winters were winter and varied where you lived obviously cause some places winter in Aus is 25c lol but now weather is pretty chaotic it rained where I live currently for almost 6 months straight and we got flooded in my suburb 4 times in about 8 weeks luckily our house wasnt reached and we barely had a summer, we call it weather weirding cause you never know what is going to happen
From Philippines here, lightnings have been getting scarier and scarier every year. Storms have been getting stronger and stronger. Summer heats getting hotter and hotter. I can't even imagine how much it will get worse for next year.
I'm South African, for the past 2 years we've experienced bizarre rains by our coastal areas, Durban to be exact where we had crazy floods, by the sound of things it was La Nina which gave us a wetter 2years, but i fear the impending El Nino.. PS- Please do more reviews of Africa, the past 10 years of weather have been fascinating, from droughts, floods, cyclones, tornados, snow.. its wild
Thanks Alex. That was the clearest description of ENSO I've ever seen! One little point, while Australia does have extensive grasslands, it is the temperate rainforests which cause the most damaging bush fires.
Australia has very little temperate rainforest left. There's some in Western Tasmania and there's sub-tropical rainforests on the East Coast in Northern NSW and Queensland plus one or two other very small pockets. The rest is a mix of woodlands and forest that's mostly eucalypts, which burn very intensely and quickly.
The snow's gone here north of the alps. We used to prepare for it, you could expect a good three feet of snow to last between two to four months, temperatures never getting as high as 0°C for weeks on end, it's gone now, we get snows but they melt within a week.
Guys, there are El Niño and La Niña. It’s the names of a globe phenomena. The ocean temps are hot in El Niño and cooler in La Niña. So from this, it affects the global weather.
That's tremendous, I have always felt compelled to pursue knowledge and power in order to contribute to the betterment of humanity. Been seeking a means to be influential and find out more knowledge about the human race and about the things not everyone is destined to know. I wish to fulfill the goal of enlightenment passed down by our forebears.
I can totally relate to your passion, if all that is what you desire then i think it's achievable. Joining the Illuminatus Brotherhood can lead to the enlightenment you seek and more. I am well aware that the idea of this group may sound mythical but it is possible to join.
@@Margart526 Yeah I acknowledge that misunderstanding can occur when people encounter what they don't fully grasp, especially in this internet era. The Illuminatus advocates for the acceptance of all religions. You can look up "Anthony Szymon". Will give you clarity and answers to any questions you might have.
Astrum is one of the most interesting channels. The subjects you cover are really very relevant and you do it in such a way that it glues me to the videos right up until the end. (I try to watch some of the weather channels and get cross eyed after a couple minutes.) This video just explained 3 things I never knew and made such total sense!
I reside in Australia and we just came out of a 2 year long La Niña… It was very wet and humid with a lot of flooding that occurred right along the East coast. We are thankful to have dry days back but we have been warned to brace ourselves for an El Niño later this year. Hopefully, our bushfire season won’t be too extreme 🤞🏽
I think the amount of bushland which has grown as a result of all the rain is a recipe for disaster if we have a ripping hot El Niño.. I hope fire services have done enough burnoffs
I hope so too. It was so hard to see what happened in 2020 right before covid. Here in Canada I was part of a group making and sending donations for burned wildlife that sanctuaries had asked for. Idk if I can see that happen again to the people and the wildlife, it broke my heart
@@peterhathaway807 This Video clearly states that due to the current cycle there have been fewer Hurricanes in your region, thus the Average Rain Fall, HOWEVER; In the SouthEast (Victoria/NSW) there has been an incredible amount of Unseasonal Rain in part caused by that UnderWater Volcanic Eruption in the Middle of the Pacific 18 Months ago. All that Water Vapour from the Eruption ended up over Antarctica causing the Catastrophic the ColdFronts that crosses the Great Australian Bight to move move further South than Normal resulting in the Unseasonal Rains expected by the SOUTHERN States.
@@DMSVICAU thank you 🙏🏽 Exactly! I live in NSW. Can confirm the rainfall was not “usual” in any sense of the word. Tell that to the damage my house and many others endured @peter 👊🏽🥊
I live in Australia too and I fear that rain have grown a lot of new fuel to burn. What we saw in 2020 might be puny compared to what we will see at the end of this year 😱
The La Niña of 2022/2023 produced “atmospheric rivers” of rain for almost three months, here in Hawaii, then it traveled to California, topping up all the drought stricken, half empty reservoirs. Living on the wet side of the island, it was a constant deluge of rain, and mold and mildew producing humidity. I am ready for the El Niño.
@@Ku_xiaohai amazing, you picked up on the situation. We are having a very hard time here on Maui. The fires have destroyed so much and they continue to threaten. As I write this, one of the fires is burning out of control, one mile from my home. Three 100 ft tall trees have fallen next to my house, one damaging my roof. Lahaina town is completely gone.
In Kohala we’ve had rain but also long periods of drought in these past few years so I don’t know how much I want that, specially with how much farmers rely on the rain.
During la nina, australia had multiple years of record floods just recently. Georgina river is the highest its been since the 90s. A river that usually is mostly arid and dry.
As a meteorologist and someone who lives in the southern US, I am welcoming El Nino with open arms. Its pattern shaping influence will provide great relief for a multi-year drought we have been facing.
The 2015 El Niño was a huge letdown. I was a HUGE meteorology nerd, and i was really considering it as a career despite being only 15 years old. I kept hyping my friends and family up about the enormous rains we will be getting. They either ignored me or made fun of me for wasting my time, but I didn't care. It was my passion. I rented out library books, watched educational TH-cam videos like this one, and even participated in meteorology seminars. We got a few sprinkles and a heavy drizzle here and there. I was so fckin disappointed. It affected me so much that I completely renounced not only meteorology but also any educational topics. I stopped going to the library. My hunger for knowledge was converted into addiction for mobile games and Nintendo, which are prevalent to this day. I was so pissed. As I am typing this out, I realized that lack of rain in 2015 gave way to my life-endangering procrastination. I graduated high school with decent grades, but I failed college. I just don't have a passion to learn anymore. My recommended has been blasting me with the upcoming El Niño, and I'm going to mark this type of content as "Not Interested" simply because it reminds me of crushed dreams. Once i start having an interest for something good and productive, my procrastination and my depression end it because i dont want to pursue that interest and end up disappointing myself. I've been mediocre then, I'm going to be mediocre now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 edicius timmoc ot tnaw I
Here in the Philippines, a weather forecast was sunny but suddenly rain occurs unexpectedly. Half the country has experienced temperatures as high as 49° while some areas had low pressure areas that caused numerous flooding.
Having lived in central Indiana, US all 65 years of my life, it seems to me that the seasons have shifted approximately a month forward. For example, weather and temperatures that I associated with December in my childhood (snow and temps under 32 F) seem to have shifted to January, and so on through the calendar year. I've not read/watched any studies about this, but this is how it seems to me intuitively.
I heard about El Nino as a kid in the 90s but never read too much into it since I thought it only affected those along the Pacific coast of the Americas. This video certainly taught me a lot.
only areas on the equator are affected, look at the heating lines! The Humboldt stream affects the west coast of the americas, a totally different effect JUST LOOK AT IT
I live in rural NSW, Australia. 2020 a large bush fire came about 2km away from our house and we were evacuated for a week. People are still paranoid about bush fires since like literally even today, people up the road are doing burning/hazard reductions in their paddocks and I can smell the smoke from them as I'm typing this comment.
Extremely interesting video! Thank you I live in Bali, and dry season was extreme here because of El ninio, we are waiting for rainy season, but it is still not here Local people told us that didn’t see such harsh dry season for a long time
I grew up in the late 40s and early 50s in North Central Texas and we had 4 or 5 half a foot snowfalls that sometimes lasted up to a week or more. I left and returned almost 50 years later to a change. Snow falls have been replaced for the most part with hail storms, increased wind shear and straight line wind storms, more tornados and humidity. This patch of my world has certainly heated up as droughts continue and food supplies are being affected. Cattlemen are selling off cows at an earlier age due to feed and hay cost combined with drought and diminished pasture land brought on by population development, high tech developments and energy demands. I may have to start looking soon for greener pastures!
It depends where you are standing, down the street from you they could have different weather. Maybe when you had hail they had the typical snow. I live where there are hurricanes and tornadoes and there are just as many as there have always been. It gets insanely hot and humid in GA in the summer and cold in the winter.. like it always has. In PA where I'm from people are worried because they didn't get snow. I remember MANY years growing up not getting snow, it happens. At least we're not living in the worst parts of one of the last 5 ice ages. Yes, farmers are suffering because land is being taken and costs are rising because of government spending. They want to control everything, but what else is new.
Every generation has had different weather "norms" then the previous. You will hear the older folks of each generation talk about how the weather is different from when they grew up. Even from generations prior to the industrial revolution, so CO2 & climate change was not a factor for them. The only normal is a changing climate.
I’m in Massachusetts, this sounds identical to what we experienced last year. We literally had almost no rain, extreme high temperatures of 96°-97° up to 102° _DAILY_ with nearly no cloud cover from May into the first part of October. And then just like that, it snapped and cooled and stayed cool - but mild. This past winter was also probably the most mild winter I’ve ever seen. I think we got about 8-9” where I live in SE Mass. But I’m 37 and that was without question the hottest, driest, most extreme spring, summer and fail I’ve ever felt
As a sailor travelling around the world, learning more about meteorology as part of my training and through experience, as well as always having been fascinated by meteorology and geography, things such as El Niño are very interesting. I have noticed how seemingly more extreme the weather is globally, not just back in my native UK. When I was in Brazil, on my last ship last summer, the daily weather was just as extreme in how quickly it changed as back here in the UK. Bright, sunny, equatorial conditions then a few hours later monsoon like rain that caused loads of landslides and flooding with deaths and widespread damage. We later sailed through a monsoonal tropical cyclone (not a TRS/Typhoon/Hurricane but a pretty low pressure) in the Arabian Sea and the rain was comparable to what we experienced in Brazil.
Brazilian here and I live on São Paulo, where metereologist throws their hand to the air because the weather is quite unpredictable. Sure they do get some days right... but there always that day when no rain was forecasted and then rains like there is no tomorrow... or a day that was forecasted as colder was so hot that you can fry a egg in a rock. You can feel this discrepancy more keenly in the Capital City, which is a gigantic heat isle, full of shiny, glasss panelled buildings trapping heat.
In my city here in the north of brazil, every summer we have a kind of tropical storm which makes wind here around 80-110km/h, the rain is extreme and even with our brick houses that are very resistent some even lose their roofs or collapse due to falling trees.
I'm in southern California & the weather has been more insane this past year than I can remember in the last 15. Summer was normal, but in Autumn we didn't have the regular fires & it was a bit cooler with some rain.☔ But that was a welcome surprise. Winter was absolutely bonkers tho! We actually had a winter! There were some weeks where it was raining non-stop for days.🌧️ The mountains had record breaking snowfall & even now, in May, there's still snow on them!🏔️ It was incredibly cold. So cold that it snowed in LA!❄️ I work near Disneyland & we got about 30 second of snow! But that was in between the days of hail storms! There was even a tornado!! 🌪️ As I was heading home today another storm was starting to roll in. The mountaintops have been in the clouds for the past 3 days, so they might be getting more snow! I'm not looking forward to find out how muggy this summer is probably gonna be, but at least we still have the beach!⛱️
Winter.... Raining.... We had 50 cm of snow in less than 8 hours in iceland. I legit couldn't get my car out of my parking spot. The snow plowing of the street just made it worse and added the plowed snow to the exit of the driveway.
You're telling me the last 3 years were supposed to be the "cold" phase? And they were still some of the hottest years on record? We are so cooked Edit: This El Nino phase is already shaping up to be the most powerful in recorded history
I come from Peru, I am in Peru the country form which "El Niño" is from, and I can tell you the world is so bastly unprepared for what we face every now and then cyclically, I knew it was becoming global last year, temperature rose to five degrees Celcius above and below that of what is normal, unending months of floods and rainfall unlike what had ever been seen. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL, you'll need it.
We are approaching the sun cycle maximum, so it will cool down... The last maximum was 2012 when alot of heat records were broken, and was at a minimum in 2019 when a bunch of snowfall records were broken in the norther hemisphere
I remember the El Niño in 97-98. There was SOOO MUCH FLOODING in Southern California. My friends mom ended up stuck on top of her minivan dressed as Mother Goose. Some places the street flooding was waist high.
I remember el niño in Philippines in 2010. It was a severe. No rain at all in above 3 months. The grass and farms turns to brown. Then came rainy season and it gave birth to a super typhoon juan(megi) in 2010
Hi I am from Colombia. So we are really affected by these changes. One of the things I have noticed is that about 4 years ago we had no rain and a lot of towns were going through a dry season (as we called it in Spanish "tiempo seco") but recently it is all the opposite, we are having tons of rain. there is places where now there are lakes that we we thought they were dried out forever
It's so bizarre. I'm from Australia, so it's exactly the same but in reverse. My whole life, the natural landscape has been brown in summer. But, as you say, about 4 years ago we started having ridiculous amounts of rain i'd never seen, floods, and it's constantly green. Before that, our lakes were close to dry for a while. It'd be nice to have a balance, so neither of our countries experience drought for too long!
I'm from Zimbabwe, its hotter compared to the past years before industrialisation, climate has changed globally. I have not been understanding the el Nino and La Nino concept until my studies on Global environmental impact and climate change on my final year at university level. El Nino is a very dangerous phenomenon l can tell
Imagine how powerful and destructive a tropical cyclone would be if it formed in that area. Remember; the fastest tropical cyclone on record, Hurricane Patricia, formed not too far from that El Niño location. That tropical cyclone reached a speed of around 215mph (346kph).
I'm Bolivian, I remember being in class as a kid/teenager and hearing about "el niño/la niña" never really understood what it meant but with the video now it makes sense and I do think we have it mild effects here compared to other parts of the world
I live in the north region of Brazil and the rains get wild between December and February, the rivers Itacaiunas and Tocantins rises about 13 meters beyond their average levels during this period.
got to clarify, usually El Niño oscilates between 4 to 5 years, with cases ranging from as little as 2 years to as much as seven years, coincidentally, the las El Niño year was in 2016, which was exactly 7 years ago.
In New Zealand, we hardly had a summer this year. It was mostly raining, and we have had on going floods all year. Although I haven’t surfed for a few years, weather watching sticks with you. And we used to love the el nino.. This is the weirdest year I have known in my 40 odd years on earth. The seasons have also shifted slightly and are over lapping with each other.
Past two years here in Hawkes Bay the grass has been green at the end of summer when normally it would be yellow. Then there was the cyclone of course.
I am born and raised in the Philippines and I would like to share our experience... EL NIÑO: GIVES US DROUGHT IN SOME AREAS IN OUR COUNTRY AND VERY VERY HOT SUMMER MONTHS... LA NIÑA: GIVES/CREATES MANY TYPHOONS AND RAINY DAYS (mostly mid-year;JUNE TO OCTOBER) Disclaimer: I am not a Weather Expert, just a local who lives in the city and have vacations in provinces...
I'm from the Philippines too and I hate La Niña more than El Niño. Experiencing a rain for a week or a month with strong Typhoons all along is a nightmare for floods. 😭 It's hard to dry clothes and if you have plants, they'll die for lack of sunlight.
Yall live in the urban areas but for us who live in rural parts, wed rather have la niña than el niño. We have lesser crops, no water, high temperatures leading to heat strokes, etc during el niño. Go consume imported goods then, if yall want el niño so bad
@@-...................- Dude,who u fighting to? I understand your point...we need water for better crop production and we never said we like el niño! Actually both is bad...too much heat and too much rain! I'm living in the City and had years lived in the Province that's what I can share👍👍
@@connordrake5713 I'm from central luzon, even with La Niña it barely rains here ( or atleast there wasn't any too excessive amount of rain for the last three years) I wonder what El Niño's effect will be
This was a very interesting and concise explanation of terms familiar to the ear but normally lacking in understanding of their vast global impact! Much appreciated❣️🐅
Here, in Cusco - Perú, just two weeks ago we experienced some extreme weather, we had rain, cold wind and 4°C in a time where it usually makes a lot of sun and it's generally hot. And with all of that, it snowed (it hasn't snowed here since 2004) but just in the higher parts of the city and the region.
We've had La Nina here in Texas for the past 3 years and it has been extremely dry during the summers. El Nino is a welcome change. Looking forward to our rivers being replenished.
You can have it! Australia has record breaking rain and floods and looking forward to some dry warm weather as long as it doesnt bring catastrophic bushfires
It’s happening everywhere last year and what I’ve noticed when I was a kid I could walk on pavements bare footed now it’s like putting your foot on a oven in the dry months
Here in argentina we have had La Niña as well. It's been awful, we could cross our then immense rivers walking, and since we are a country that lives off agriculture the losses have been tremendous. It was horrible whenever I went from town to town and I see the burned corn under 42° in this summer. Here (llanura pampeana) used to be the most productive soil. When I was younger we had tornado coils (we almost are in a tornado area) and they ripped trees and it was impossible to go out your house... so I don't know what's better but I'm betting our economy needs urgent rescue
We've also had La Niña in South Africa for the past 3 years, except the weather has been glorious. The summers have been cool and wet and I'm not complaining.
I think this explains why winter in my area (mid eastern Pennsylvania) has got so mild, my yard has had green grass all season. and this past season i haven't had to shovel or plow once because it was just not sticking or it melted within a few hours. amazing video. this fills a huge gap in my knowledge of weather. and according to this that means in another year or 2 ill be dealing with feet of snow again like they have out west. mind blown.
I just completed part of my meteorology education and will earn my forecasting certs in the next year so this video was extremely insightful, especially love this video because it’s Astrum ❤
Good luck on your new career. There are lots of successful meteorology channels here on AdTube because folks are interested in the topic. One potential niche you might exploit is weather forecasting for travellers going outside the US. Pick the most popular tourist destinations and provide an extended forecast for that area. Seasonal trends in tourism would make you necessarily shift your focus and the global perspective you would have to develop would make you a genius-level expert. For good measure you might also throw in CDC and State department advisory info, too. As a frequent traveller I would subscribe for sure. Good luck!:
Here in the UK, when the pandemic occurred, the March of 2020 was very warm, the later summer sort of fizzled out. In 21 again a hot March, and a reasonable summer. Last year March was warm, followed by a cracking summer. This year, they've announced that La Nina, is coming to an end, and March, April and May have been really cold, be interesting to see what kind of summer we have.
Exactly, the earth has and will be in a constant form of change even long after humans are long gone and until whatever it will be that takes earth out. Species also die out, evolve, new species come about. What takes the place of humans who knows.
Love how you are combining absolute chill tunes with beautiful pictures, a calm soothing voice you could fall asleep to and the very topic of destruction, disaster and death. If i didnt listen to the words i could imagine you sharing a sad love story with a happy ending 😅
Living in Buffalo NY my whole life, I have notice for the past couple of decades that our weather has become more (in a very non- scientific terms) clumped up. That is to say, more extremes over shorter periods of time, with fewer of the gentler transitions from one air mass to the next or one season to the next that I remember from the 1960's and 70's. We have more wind, less snow that stays on the ground all winter, and fluctuations from blizzard conditions to warmer days immediately following. Our springs are no longer springs, but rather, cold, rainy, and miserable.Our summers start up at the last second in early June, and our falls are warmer, starting and lasting much later. As if the seasons have shifted around to about 2 months later. In the 1970's, you could feel fall starting in early to mid August. I've noticed all of this long before they started talking about climate change. It would be great to have this explained.
This is all a result of anthropogenic warming. Extreme shifts in weather and tempature. In Canada we recently experienced a week of 30 degree temps which immediately transitioned to 0 degree temps a few days later, an event I can't remember happening in my lifetime.
Thanks for a great video! I’m in SA and La Niña has definitely produced wetter-than-normal conditions for the past two years. I’m getting anxious about the onset of El Niño, as it signifies drought conditions for SA. You may recall Cape Town’s Day Zero scenario a few years ago, before the oscillation moved to a cool phase. With the increasing water content of the air over the Indian Ocean, plus higher temperatures overall, we’ve begun to experience flooding on the East coast, as stronger trade winds associated with La Liña push more intense low pressure systems further Westward. I’m not a geographer, but I find this oscillation both fascinating and disturbing, and I subscribe to the US weather service’s email updates.
In Colombia where I live, albeit having a large Pacific Coast, just North of Ecuador and Peru, we experience drought during El Niño. One multi-year one during the 90s was specially bad. It rained so little that the Hydroelectric plants couldn’t keep up with the energy demand of the country, so scheduled blackouts were carried out.
In southern CA we recently experienced unbelievable downpours (atmospheric rivers) Dec.22, Jan, Feb, March which finally relieved our massive drought. The way it came down reminded me of El Nino 97-98. We just experienced a "May Rain" which NEVER happens here. It will be interesting to see what occurs later this year, but this time I'm definitely prepared. Thank you for your insight.
Hi Shannon! I have to laugh... I'm in Los Angeles and made a similar comment to yours... even indicating the rain we just received in May!! I for one love the rain so I was lovin' it.
Im in Northern California (SF Bay). The atmospheric rivers have been pretty fairly distributed across the state, with the north receiving consistent rain even in May (which is an anomaly) . This has been a miracle year for relieving the pressures of the drought we had been facing, and most reservoirs are at relatively comfortable levels. The hot topic is the exceptional snowpack melting too rapidly and causing floods. Last year, the hills turned brown in late March/early April. Today, it's middle of May and they're still green! I drove down to the central coast to see the super blooms in Carrizo Plain and they were one of the most beautiful and incredible things I've ever seen. I went same time last year and there were no flowers!
@@thenear1send That's great to hear! It was looking pretty dire for Cali for the past couple of years with the lack of precipitation. Happy to hear there's been some relief!
@@tyleryoung306 I live in sf and can tell you we have definitely not had consistent rain idk what that guy was telling you . We got a couple days of rain the last few months and one was really hard and lasted 2 days . That was over a month ago now though. And most of our soil didn't even take up the rain from how hard our soil got from being dry . It created more mudslides that's about it For the whole year . We will need constant rain for months to get in a ok zone at this point .
I'm in the south central United States, and this spring has been very dry and chilly so far. It's supposed to change this weekend but it seems odd to have so much cool weather this late/often.
Climate change is painfully real. Global temperatures may be getting warmer overall but the yearly consequence of that is that weather is going to be more unpredictable and more extreme. I'm not even 30 yet and I've noticed it within my own life just in the last decade.
Here in Costa Rica La Niña intensifies the rainy season and makes the weather colder and pleasant while El Niño causes the opposite and the risk of drought increases. Where I currently live, in 2015 we didn't saw rain the entire year, so this time unfortunately I think it will be worse. Suffice to say the heat is unbearable.🇨🇷
I live in southwest Florida. An I think it has been one of the driest summer this year. I have a lawn service business and a lot of the spots in customers lawns were not near as wet as normal.
Not sure how this correlates, but here in some places in Malaysia, weather has been pretty crazy these past few weeks, clear skies and very hot weather in the morning & heavy thunderstorms in the evening. School kids are given leeway to wear shirts instead of the usual stuffy school uniforms due to the heat. The northern states near to Thailand has just been hot from what I hear in the local news, so I imagine Thailand has a pretty hot weather right now.
I am over the border in trang. It has been very hot with some storms but not a lot of rain. Wet season is late. The trang islands are running out of water.
It barely goes below freezing here in western NY during a La Nina. 15 years ago we had snow covering the ground from November till April almost every year. Going into an el Nino now would make this an extremely mild winter which may feel nice but its actually bad quite bad for the area.
Where I live in the southern US, the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region of Texas, El Niño is preferable because it brings us more rain and less heat (but usually more humidity). The past 3 years of La Niña were hard on us as drought has gotten worse and many rivers and creeks went dry in 2022. I’m all for El Niño this year since that should mean a wet winter and spring into 2024.
El Nino or La Nina coming is not the problem. The fact is they are getting more intense and more frequent. The normal years are decreasing, That's the problem
@@_ilynux Why you americans can't build a reliable infrastructure that doesn't destroy by tornadoes, wind and snow instead f*cking other countries with military force?
Living on the East Coast of Australia we hear about La Nina and La Nino all the time and the possible effects it's probably going to cause us in the coming Weeks and Months regarding Weather forecasts. We just came out of a 3 straight Seasons of La Nina and most people have heard about the horrific contrasts the whole coast has been going through, of Bush Fires like never seen before in my 60 years as well as massive Floods we never use to have, that I can think of. Some have blamed recent weather on the Tonga Volcano - who know really...?
Dearest fellow Australians, Apologies for the spam but I feel this is important. The amazing boom of plant life we have received as a result of the La Nina's if a greet blessing indeed. We can keep it but it must be carefully managed. The time is now, we must demand the restoration of bush clean up crews canned buy governments on cost. Demand the reform of red tape policies in regards to private land controlled burns. Increase the use of strategic fire breaks. Most importantly of all we must increase the use of Indigenous fire management. Well there were no doubt catastrophic fires prior to European arrival. It is proven that this practice greatly reduced them. This is also an opportunity for needed Aboriginal employment, and others as many hands are needed. I say this as a humble horticulturalist who deeply appreciates Australia's unique botany and everything that comes with it. Botany that has the presence of fire written in its DNA, but would much rather not be hit with a massive fire storm. It is not enough for Governments ( any governments ) to say prepare your homes. They have in my opinion atrociously neglected this issue with red tape and hand sitting. It is not enough. Time to get pestering Local, State, Federal both isles. Give them hell before hell starts in the Bush, Kind Regards.
Currently live in Las Vegas near lake mead, and used to live in Tumbes, Peru. Never thought I’d see a video that talked about both places in the same video. Regardless, video was extremely well done and very informative! I’ll be coming back to this channel!
This is interesting. Here in coastal southern California we've experienced a much longer rainy season than usual. Further North experienced record snowfalls in places like lake Tahoe, that lead to flooding from the snow melt, like the flooding seen in Yosemite National Park.
I’m a paleontologist that lives in South Dakota and I noticed in a picture 4 years ago the dirt here was lighter and after that I went to my dig site and found how deadly El Niño could be.4 years ago there was thriving wildlife bobcats,ferrets,groundhogs now I look outside and all I can see is dead grass and bugs.a La Niña would be life changing for South Dakota.god help us all
Would it be a good thing or bad thing since it is going to slightly change the weather, like for me in Texas we are instead of getting a drought the summer going to have annually rain more frequently so which means no more dead grass like the last summer
Here in Argentina we've had a massive drought these past three years and this year more than 50% of the soybean harvest was lost, we're heading into a recession because agriculture is a huge part of our GDP. This year has barely rained during the wet season in some parts. We're glad to see El Niño come back, and are probably heading into a historical harvest season by summer.
Mi viejo es ingeniero agronomo y siempre dice eso! despues de una seca historica se viene una cosecha historica! Ojala sea así porque no nos vendría mas UNA buena jasjjajs a veces no alcanza con ser campeones del mundo ok
Interesting to see how there are some quick major climatic events that affect us, and that we can only sit, prepare, watch and survive as they pass us by!!
Or we can stop using fossil fuels, polluting the air, and exacerbating the impact of the climate. The philosophy of "we can't do anything" / "only god controls the weather" is going to be remembered VERY poorly by future generations.
What other videos do you want to see about Earth? Suggest on the Astrum discord here: discord.gg/TKw8Hpvtv8
I'd like to see this video but with Europe mentioned😅
I have an idea...how about losing the fear mongering and give people some perspective on what's going on. Just a few points would be, the higher levels of CO2 during past ice ages, periods warmer than today (in just the last few thousand years) with less CO2 in the atmosphere, that the overall amount of ice on the planet hasn't changed, that sea levels haven't risen and finally that fires are so common and have happened for so long in Australia that a large percentage of the plants there need smoke residue in the soil for their seeds to germinate. And FYI, the southwest US is desert, a place of perpetual drought (I know, I live there)....although in 2022, we received almost double our annual rainfall (despite being a La Nina), most likely caused by the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption injecting so much water into the upper atmosphere....oh and that the "bathtub ring" on lake Mead was caused more by water storage mismanagement in California, than by any other factor.
Maybe talk about the true nature of CO2 and how it affects temperature (reference Freeman Dyson & William Happer, both respected physicists from Princeton) or how life has absolutely flourished with up to 10 times the current amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Also, the fact that this is the first interglacial period where humans kept track of climate and that CO2 levels prior to the industrial revolution were within 30 ppm of plant death. Lastly and probably most importantly, the affects of how the solar and Milankovitch cycles change climate and the comings and goings of ice ages.
Climate change is not something to fear and as you said at the end of your video, we and the rest of the planet are adaptable. However, there are a lot of more serious and immediate issues that need to be addressed like pollution, over fishing and nuclear war. ✌
@Macy Thats not really scientifically correct though is it
I’m afraid this content is highly misleading. TH-camrs who lack the relevant expertise risk misinforming the public if they fail to consult an expert. Your opening comments in this video are a case in point. The climate impacts experienced during an El Niño or La Niña event are not the product of ENSO alone - they are a consequence of the superposition of natural climate fluctuations, including ENSO, on top of human climate change, and since the latter is now the dominant driver of changes in global average temperature and associated shifts in the severity of climate extremes, you cannot imply, as you do, that recent ENSO associated weather extremes are just a consequence of natural cycles. They are not. If you want to be the goto source of accurate information on climate science I suggest you revise the voice over on this content or delete it.

I am from the Philippines and I noticed that during an El niño event typhoons tend to form near the central Pacific ocean which causes them to intensify more as they are likely to stay over the water. On the other hand, during a La niña event typhoons tend to form near the Philippines which makes them less likely to intensify as they immediately land on land shortly upon forming.
True✔. Thank God, the Weather News always shows us how/where the Typhoon forms or going to land🙏
from my quick research though, El Nino and La Nina just change where typhoons form
El Nino storms usually form near the equator (around Mindanao) while La Nina storms form around the east of Visayas or Luzon
intense storms are possible with either seasons
In the Philippines, we only have 2 seasons...dry and rainy. With El Ninio, means less rain during rainy season. Ground cracked dry...
Build a wall and make mother nature pay for it.
Yes, they always form in that ONE SPOT

In India, we are having one of the weirdest weather conditions that I have ever seen. It's peak summer time, but instead of complete dry weather and temperatures going upto 45-48°C in central regions, we had rains almost every day in April with temperature not going above 40. Same is happening in May as well. This might affect monsoons later, which is a big worry for most people in India.
How can you survive 40 C weather omg, like how does cattle survive😢
@@reeyees50 Mud huts and sheds for cattle keep the temperature in the 20s range while its 45 C outside. And for us people we use evaporative desert air coolers and occasional dips in the local pond.

1998's El Niño in the southwest was amazing. We had mudslides, flooding everywhere. I was too young to understand the dangers, so it just seemed like a really special, cool year with tons of rain. Hoping we can offset the long drought even more this year since it's been forever since we had that kind of rain!
I'm excited as well. Been through the 97/98. Something about that one was magical because most of us only had radios and gas stove to cook. No lights for weeks. Just family bonding through water lol. Then it snowed as well which was so freakin cool at age 12.
Want more rain!!! Move the hell out of the Southwest to somewhere it actually rains regular!! Seems simple lmao
Same here. I remember camping with my dad and uncle and they were screaming, “el nino is Spanish for… THE NINO!” during an intense storm on the Mongollon Rim.
I actually love the rain. It’s different than the sunny weather.
I will never forget 1997-98 ,I was 16 with my first girlfriend.

It would be banned in most public schools. It’s far to realistic in explaining weather patterns. El Ninio is caused by cars and lawn mowers not millennial old patterns.

Canadian here. I can only hope an El Nino will bring wetter weather for the central prairies. These last 3-4 years have been the driest and hottest we have seen in recent memory. The ground didn't even freeze this winter because there was no moisture in the soil to speak of. We were seeding wheat today and had to plant as deep as our machine could just to get some slightly damp soil. Only 2 ml of rain in the forecast for the next three weeks just won't cut it. There were no April showers to bring May flowers.
It’s quite interesting… a couple years back maybe 3 here in the Yukon we hit super high temperatures at 31C, Something I’ve seen before in my life living in the Yukon but I’ve never seen that temp stay around for more than a week. then I think a year or two after that heat thing we had a huge dump of snow in November like how it always was when I was a child. That was one of my first real “snow days” where many students and workers stayed home (not me though of course 😅) . I think the other records for much snow fall were in 2013 and 1970s… crazy.

Great video! I’m a huge weather nerd and of course love all your space videos as well. I live in Buffalo, NY and La Niña can play a big role in generating Lake Effect Snow here. A phenomenon that doesn’t happen in many places. We had two very big events this last winter that could have been influenced by La Niña, which may have helped set up these two massive storms. I live just south of Buffalo, about 15 minutes or so. We were hit the hardest both times with up to 7 FEET accumulating in the 1st epic storm. Snowfall rates of over 6 inches per hour were reported! The second storm dropped about 4 Feet, however, this storm was a true Blizzard that lasted 2 solid days. Heavy snow and winds in excess of 70 MPH had devastating impacts on our city. It was a historic winter and a weird one. Despite the two massive storms, we ended up having somewhat of a mild winter and did not experience much snow outside of these events. If interested, go look up these two storms that occurred in November and again, around Christmas. The story won’t disappoint! Thanks again for all your amazing videos! I always get exciting watching them. You’ve got a gift my friend! 😁
Hello fellow person who lives near Buffalo! It was an unusual winter for sure. You know the snow is bad here when schools and stores are actually closed haha.
yes, winter was mild down state, WAY more rain that snow - so it's not surprising that outside of the lake affect on two storms, it was mild not TAHT far away from us down on the island.
Yep! The weather has been VERY wacky in MANY places. Increasingly so year-after-year.
For anyone who has a few decades under their belt they have witnessed the changes in their lifetime.
716 fam! that christmas weekend blizzard was the wildest thing ive ever seen, I live north of Buffalo and was right on the edge of the lake effect band for a full day. couldn't see across the street for 2 days straight
I don't appreciate the click bait attitude of this video. There's nothing new or sinister about the El Nino. Not is it accurate to describe it as an event. It's the ebb and flow of Earth's dynamic weather system, nothing more.
I am a volunteer firefighter from eastern Australia.
I follow the ENSO cycle very closely every year and I am a little worried about this coming summer much and hope we don't need a repeat of 2013. Three back to back La Nina events have caused record growth in our grasslands in eastern Australia so an El Nino in 2023 may prove to be a busy year.
This will be different to the 2019-20 season you mentioned as that was following a catastrophic drought spurred by an IOD positive system (perhaps an idea for a future video)
Thank you for covering the global affects of the ENSO cycle. We are taught a very Australian centric view of the cycle and I can say I learnt alot about impacts on the Americas.
Well said!!
You dirty Abos are all gonna burn! Get that hose ready boy because you have not seen what's coming despite your extensive research regarding weather patterns. When the trade winds blow all shall be cleansed and filthy Oz usually is tops on that list!
Also all the burned areas as well as unburnt vegetation have grown so much that people say there is more fuel load than before the 2019-2020 fires.
Any el Nino will dry out all this vegetation. This could lead to even larger and more fires across Australia again.
Thank you for your services. Be careful out there. Hugs from Brazil.
I’m worried to. South Australia has had a very wet year and they are already doing control burns here ready for summer. Thank you for your service! Bless our fire fighters and cfs
Back after awhile, I continue in awe of your superb programs and terrific voice.
During the ‘17/18 El Niño I volunteered just north of SF, CA at a marine mammal rescue. We had much larger numbers of injured animals that year (we were primarily equipped to care for pinnipeds). Such an impact to that ecosystem that most land mammals weren’t aware of.
It was only El Niño from 2014-16. Correction apparently there was a short one in your time frame, but it did not effect winter i don't believe.
As a California kid in the 90s. El Nino brought so much water, Freshwater fishing was so much fun. We were literally fishing from trees! Canyons were super lush as well.
Great video.
El Niño is something I dread as an Australian farmer.
Water is the most important resource that needs management and protection in Australia
Put a magnifying glass into orbit and point it at the north pole to melt the ice, build an aqueduct from the north pole to the desserts of the world, problem solved. New landmass exposed - Greenland (perhaps anarctica), unusable desserts terraformed, win win.
@@mikejones-vd3fg There's never any unusable desserts in my house.
Don't worry the Chinese take care of water management in Australia 😢😮
El Niño is something I've also learned to dread. My uncles & aunts were all farmers, surviving on tank or dam water. Ground pumps were unreliable, or inoperative. I still remember the cows, sheep, and horses following us on daily runs in the ute when all ran dry. Or finding those who'd succumb to thirst.
"Water" yes Government sold it all to China. Bastards
Love the well-explained research & graphics.
I'm from Rio de Janeiro and now I understand why the weather is much more pleasant in the region where I live when the La Nina weather event occurs, but I had no idea that it was the opposite for other regions of the world. Very interesting to understand how our planet is so complex and every event happens for some reason, many still not really understood
I live in Indonesia and personally can't wait for El Nino.
@@pakde8002 I live in the US east coast and also agree. WOOO is it going to be nice to have more than a quarter inch of snow this winter!
I live in Indonesia, and La Niña explains why clear blue sky is a rarity here in the last few years. As much as I hate the constant downpour, news of upcoming El Niño is terrifying. I was a kid during the megadrought in 1998. I remember my parent's constant worry over water & food availability. I suspect the drought is one of several factors which bring political instability & social upheaval during that time. At the least, it brought the national mood to a downward spiral.
I sincerely hope it won't get that bad ever again. But considering what we've done to the planet, that is a tall order.
while as a farmer living in a small town next to Surakarta i'm loving our consecutive 'wet' dry seasons, i miss the day i can pluck out ulat jati pupae and cook them. idk. maybe it's just me being weird
Indonesia has plenty of fresh water no?
Just bad resource management I'm guessing..
@@freshdonkey1760 yeah, but great chunk of them are in the hands of big companies, like Danone for an example
China is pumping the air full all kinds pollutants. That's your main problem
@@freshdonkey1760 not that easy tho. during drought season, even lakes and rivers dried out. nothing can prevent it.
California seems to be one of the few places where El Nino is almost completely beneficial. It does cause late-summer coastal heatwaves, but the rain it brings counteracts many of the negative summer impacts.
Exactly.
Maybe that’s why I kept hearing “el niño is a problem but La Niña is much worse”
The downside is that all the lush greenery that grows because of the rain then dries out in the summer and in it’s large quantity, serves as fuel for the summer wildfires. That, and mudslides from the rain. As a SoCal native though, that rainy season is amazing and makes for such a beautiful Spring.
Very bad for Eastern Canada. Strong SW winds in December. NEVER seen that before here where i have lived over 30 years. Then Ice storm in the first week of April. Who could've thought of that. Knocked our power for 5 days. Thank God it was in April and not in January.
You mean La Nina. El Nino is coming. We just finished La Nina
El Niño absolutely happened, up until January, this was the warmest fall/winter in Canada I’ve seen in a while
Where I am in Canada it is been -30 to -40 c here for about a week or 2
As a chilean, the weather & climate patterns of my country have been forever linked to ENSO. I grew up hearing news forecasting ENSO-related events, and I'm old enough to remember that 97-98 event. It wasn't as catastrophic as our brothers in Perú and Ecuador had it, but DAMN it rained a lot.
absolutamente todas las nacionalidades de esta sección de comentarios llaman a este fenómeno por su nombre: "El Niño". Pero tenía que haber al menos un tonto que se ha tragado la propaganda cultural anglosajona y lo llama "ENSO". De Chile, cómo no 🤣
@@marcosvidal4940 Y a ti quién te pateó la jaula? Quizás si hubieses puesto un poco de atención al video, sabrías que El Niño es sólo la fase cálida del ENSO.
97-98 was pretty wild in La Serena
I'm in California in 1995 and 97 we had massive flooding . The water Temps off of San Francisco were 74 degrees! Normally it's 54 degrees. We were catching tropical Hawaiian fish off of a normally cool climate in northern California coast
@@marcosvidal4940 De hecho la sigla en Español es ENOS (El niño oscilación - sur), que es lo mismo que ENSO (El niño southern oscilation). No hay necesidad de ser tan desagradable.
I live in the Philippines and I genuinely thought we were experiencing El Niño already with how hot it was, only to find out things were going to get worse 😊 Plus, until recently, I thought El Niño and La Niña were universally considered as bad things, so I never realized that some people actually didn't suffer due to it based on their country, or even benefited due to it. The more you know I guess, though it does make me a little sad that once again, we get the short end of the stick, lol.
I live in Southern Africa, in 2017 El Nino hit and I lost 1,5 million dollar crops. Took two years to recover including all costs on and off the land. The dollar is like 1 to 10 where I am from so it was quite hectic. Good and bad I guess.
@@MiguelPinto-k9i how do you have so many crops
It's the same in South America, we suffer from flooding, mosquitoes, landslides, wildfire and very hot temperatures along electric storms...
@@aascsvc.. Well you see, some countries are rich agriculturally based on the land, weather etc. but lacks Infrastructural growth, fair global trade off, you can't have them both
@@Marfil0 y did u say sorry two times🙃
I applaud you for making this type of video. It's relevant, topical, and important. I love all of your astronomical videos, of course, but this just shows you are a student of multiple disciplines. I just graduated with an Environmental Science degree from Iowa State University, so I've been studying a lot of stuff connected to this video
and the hope for space exploration at the end
Environmentalism will crush your hopes for world conservation.
With all these types of videos, I still try and see it from an astronomy perspective - studying Earth as if we were studying the weather of Venus from space, kind of thing. I try and have a more zoomed-out perspective when showcasing these things.
@@astrumspace and it shows, wonderfully produced and thought provoking as always! Love everything you’ve been doing lately
Northern Sydney Australian here. This year, we get El Nino drought and duststorms. Last 3 years, La Nina drowned significant parts of the country. The year before that, the bushfires (wildfires) were so widespread and frequent it like half the country was on fire at once.
I live several metres above flood levels to date. Don't know how long it will before the floodwaters comes up to my eaves.
I'm from the Dominican Republic, and I remember as a kid hearing adults talk about El Niño as a terrible thing. It meant that the temperature will increase to almost not bearable conditions and the worst tropical hurricanes will come that year. There was a very bad hurricane called "Hurricane George" in 1998 that destroyed many highways and bridges by the floods of all the rain and wind. I didn't have any idea that these climate things were affecting the entire world, it makes me feel more connected somehow. Thank you for the information.
this interconnected feeling is a great byproduct of our era ,
brings us closer together as well as expanding our vision
Hurricane Georges left me without a home in Puerto Rico lol.
@@joamfeliciano3653 wow, it was pretty bad
eyyyyyy que lo que!!! 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos!
BRO EL NINO IS COMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I live in Australia and it is the second year that in summer I had my lawn in the garden staying always green!
Usually in summer the lawns are really dry and brown everywhere, you won't ever find a green patch unless you water daily your garden which is not permitted in a hot normal summer!
Dearest fellow Australians, Apologies for the spam but I feel this is important. The amazing boom of plant life we have received as a result of the La Nina's if a greet blessing indeed. We can keep it but it must be carefully managed. The time is now, we must demand the restoration of bush clean up crews canned buy governments on cost. Demand the reform of red tape policies in regards to private land controlled burns. Increase the use of strategic fire breaks.
Most importantly of all we must increase the use of Indigenous fire management. Well there were no doubt catastrophic fires prior to European arrival. It is proven that this practice greatly reduced them. This is also an opportunity for needed Aboriginal employment, and others as many hands are needed.
I say this as a humble horticulturalist who deeply appreciates Australia's unique botany and everything that comes with it. Botany that has the presence of fire written in its DNA, but would much rather not be hit with a massive fire storm.
It is not enough for Governments ( any governments ) to say prepare your homes. They have in my opinion atrociously neglected this issue with red tape and hand sitting. It is not enough. Time to get pestering Local, State, Federal both isles.
Give them hell before hell starts in the Bush, Kind Regards.
I just started recently hearing and learning about these weather patterns/cycles. Its weird it took until 2023 for these to become so widely known. And then I happened to be taking a Geography class and learned even more about it, and it was definitely fascinating. Makes you really think alot more about the weather and earth in general.
I think you have been living under a rock because i recently Turned 20 and im certain I've heard of this el niño/la niña thing for a couple of years now.
@@Jaztins lmao same. I love in a third world country and we learned about el nino in primary school in the 90s
I grew up as a kid in the 90s and it was definitely talked about a lot then.
This was all taught to us in geography classes when we were 13.. Im surprised there are adults out there who have no idea how monsoons function around the world and in their country.
As an Indian this is extremely worrying. The population here already struggles with the effects of global warming. As this is a largely agrarian civilization I feel for the farmers here. Looks like everybody here needs to be a bit considerate of their consumption the next few years.
I’m gonna consume as much as I can in spite of you. Take the L buddy
@@olivernt2667 yeah yeah well done!
Another exceptionally clear explanation of a fascinating topic. Marvelous meteorological graphics (and some smooth segues too). Astrum is such a classy production.
I grew up in New Zealand. Many think NZ as a country without disruptive weather, but that isn't the case. Floods and droughts occur, along with catching the tail end of cyclones, and they are huge weather systems which are devastating. Just ask those that live on any Pacific island. As a child the weather was fairly predictable, now it is noticably more chaotic. Seasonal variations feel more exaggerated with anomalous storms, or heatwaves, more common. Understanding the oceans is helping to prepare people for these fluctuations, but it is scary to see how much warmer the ocean temperatures have risen recently and predictions on how that will intensify the weather patterns and sea life loss. At a basic level that puts food security as the number one priority.
Same here in Australia, summers were hot, winters were winter and varied where you lived obviously cause some places winter in Aus is 25c lol but now weather is pretty chaotic it rained where I live currently for almost 6 months straight and we got flooded in my suburb 4 times in about 8 weeks luckily our house wasnt reached and we barely had a summer, we call it weather weirding cause you never know what is going to happen
Where I am, northern Canada, we have way less heat waves
@@AH-lw2bj "northern canada" and "heat wave" is very funny to me
From Philippines here, lightnings have been getting scarier and scarier every year. Storms have been getting stronger and stronger. Summer heats getting hotter and hotter. I can't even imagine how much it will get worse for next year.
El nino is good for us down here the weather is more settled in NZ⛳
I'm South African, for the past 2 years we've experienced bizarre rains by our coastal areas, Durban to be exact where we had crazy floods, by the sound of things it was La Nina which gave us a wetter 2years, but i fear the impending El Nino..
PS- Please do more reviews of Africa, the past 10 years of weather have been fascinating, from droughts, floods, cyclones, tornados, snow.. its wild
The street sweepers don't clean the drains 😂
did u also notice how cold it was in some parts of SA , we even received snow
I'd love more videos like this!! You do such a good job with these topics! Awesome work!! 💙
Thanks Alex. That was the clearest description of ENSO I've ever seen! One little point, while Australia does have extensive grasslands, it is the temperate rainforests which cause the most damaging bush fires.
Australia has very little temperate rainforest left. There's some in Western Tasmania and there's sub-tropical rainforests on the East Coast in Northern NSW and Queensland plus one or two other very small pockets. The rest is a mix of woodlands and forest that's mostly eucalypts, which burn very intensely and quickly.
u mean forests not rain forests
The snow's gone here north of the alps. We used to prepare for it, you could expect a good three feet of snow to last between two to four months, temperatures never getting as high as 0°C for weeks on end, it's gone now, we get snows but they melt within a week.
In the Rocky Mountains we had an abnormally late spring, didn't see insects or flowers til the last week of April.
Guys, there are El Niño and La Niña. It’s the names of a globe phenomena. The ocean temps are hot in El Niño and cooler in La Niña. So from this, it affects the global weather.
That's tremendous, I have always felt compelled to pursue knowledge and power in order to contribute to the betterment of humanity. Been seeking a means to be influential and find out more knowledge about the human race and about the things not everyone is destined to know. I wish to fulfill the goal of enlightenment passed down by our forebears.
I can totally relate to your passion, if all that is what you desire then i think it's achievable. Joining the Illuminatus Brotherhood can lead to the enlightenment you seek and more. I am well aware that the idea of this group may sound mythical but it is possible to join.

Astrum is one of the most interesting channels. The subjects you cover are really very relevant and you do it in such a way that it glues me to the videos right up until the end. (I try to watch some of the weather channels and get cross eyed after a couple minutes.) This video just explained 3 things I never knew and made such total sense!
I reside in Australia and we just came out of a 2 year long La Niña… It was very wet and humid with a lot of flooding that occurred right along the East coast. We are thankful to have dry days back but we have been warned to brace ourselves for an El Niño later this year. Hopefully, our bushfire season won’t be too extreme 🤞🏽
I think the amount of bushland which has grown as a result of all the rain is a recipe for disaster if we have a ripping hot El Niño.. I hope fire services have done enough burnoffs
I hope so too. It was so hard to see what happened in 2020 right before covid. Here in Canada I was part of a group making and sending donations for burned wildlife that sanctuaries had asked for. Idk if I can see that happen again to the people and the wildlife, it broke my heart
@@peterhathaway807
This Video clearly states that due to the current cycle there have been fewer Hurricanes in your region, thus the Average Rain Fall,
HOWEVER;
In the SouthEast (Victoria/NSW) there has been an incredible amount of Unseasonal Rain in part caused by that UnderWater Volcanic Eruption in the Middle of the Pacific 18 Months ago. All that Water Vapour from the Eruption ended up over Antarctica causing the Catastrophic the ColdFronts that crosses the Great Australian Bight to move move further South than Normal resulting in the Unseasonal Rains expected by the SOUTHERN States.
@@DMSVICAU thank you 🙏🏽
Exactly! I live in NSW. Can confirm the rainfall was not “usual” in any sense of the word. Tell that to the damage my house and many others endured @peter 👊🏽🥊
I live in Australia too and I fear that rain have grown a lot of new fuel to burn. What we saw in 2020 might be puny compared to what we will see at the end of this year 😱
The La Niña of 2022/2023 produced “atmospheric rivers” of rain for almost three months, here in Hawaii, then it traveled to California, topping up all the drought stricken, half empty reservoirs. Living on the wet side of the island, it was a constant deluge of rain, and mold and mildew producing humidity. I am ready for the El Niño.
@@Ku_xiaohai amazing, you picked up on the situation. We are having a very hard time here on Maui. The fires have destroyed so much and they continue to threaten. As I write this, one of the fires is burning out of control, one mile from my home. Three 100 ft tall trees have fallen next to my house, one damaging my roof. Lahaina town is completely gone.
Where I live which is Rapid City South Dakota Rapid City had a wet and rainy Summer this year during La Niña
In Kohala we’ve had rain but also long periods of drought in these past few years so I don’t know how much I want that, specially with how much farmers rely on the rain.
Western US, especially Utah, has been buried in snow and rain already. The area has tons of flooding.
During la nina, australia had multiple years of record floods just recently. Georgina river is the highest its been since the 90s. A river that usually is mostly arid and dry.
As a meteorologist and someone who lives in the southern US, I am welcoming El Nino with open arms. Its pattern shaping influence will provide great relief for a multi-year drought we have been facing.
I'm in Oklahoma and am embracing it too. The panhandle is basically a desert now and my part of Green Country is drying up fast.
I’m in SWOK so hopefully we can finally get some relief around here we have been in drought since 2021
The 2015 El Niño was a huge letdown. I was a HUGE meteorology nerd, and i was really considering it as a career despite being only 15 years old. I kept hyping my friends and family up about the enormous rains we will be getting. They either ignored me or made fun of me for wasting my time, but I didn't care. It was my passion. I rented out library books, watched educational TH-cam videos like this one, and even participated in meteorology seminars. We got a few sprinkles and a heavy drizzle here and there. I was so fckin disappointed. It affected me so much that I completely renounced not only meteorology but also any educational topics. I stopped going to the library. My hunger for knowledge was converted into addiction for mobile games and Nintendo, which are prevalent to this day. I was so pissed. As I am typing this out, I realized that lack of rain in 2015 gave way to my life-endangering procrastination. I graduated high school with decent grades, but I failed college. I just don't have a passion to learn anymore. My recommended has been blasting me with the upcoming El Niño, and I'm going to mark this type of content as "Not Interested" simply because it reminds me of crushed dreams. Once i start having an interest for something good and productive, my procrastination and my depression end it because i dont want to pursue that interest and end up disappointing myself. I've been mediocre then, I'm going to be mediocre now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Here in the Philippines, a weather forecast was sunny but suddenly rain occurs unexpectedly. Half the country has experienced temperatures as high as 49° while some areas had low pressure areas that caused numerous flooding.
Here in Romania, it's raining one day and very cold, then just cold, then very sunny.
Having lived in central Indiana, US all 65 years of my life, it seems to me that the seasons have shifted approximately a month forward. For example, weather and temperatures that I associated with December in my childhood (snow and temps under 32 F) seem to have shifted to January, and so on through the calendar year. I've not read/watched any studies about this, but this is how it seems to me intuitively.
The graphics in this video are so good. This should be used by teachers and parents to teach kids about El Nido/La Nina
I heard about El Nino as a kid in the 90s but never read too much into it since I thought it only affected those along the Pacific coast of the Americas. This video certainly taught me a lot.
Chris Farley was instrumental in teaching the world about el nino.
I remember one in the 90s because it stayed in the 60s and 70s during the winter in the Midwest. I havent seen it do that since.
Lat Am west coast (Chile, Colombia and Peru) is the canary in the coalmine for El Nino and its effects on the whole planet.
only areas on the equator are affected, look at the heating lines!
The Humboldt stream affects the west coast of the americas, a totally different effect
JUST LOOK AT IT
Turns out it wasn't a Specific Coast as so many americans seem to believe.
I live in rural NSW, Australia. 2020 a large bush fire came about 2km away from our house and we were evacuated for a week. People are still paranoid about bush fires since like literally even today, people up the road are doing burning/hazard reductions in their paddocks and I can smell the smoke from them as I'm typing this comment.
Extremely interesting video! Thank you
I live in Bali, and dry season was extreme here because of El ninio, we are waiting for rainy season, but it is still not here
Local people told us that didn’t see such harsh dry season for a long time
I grew up in the late 40s and early 50s in North Central Texas and we had 4 or 5 half a foot snowfalls that sometimes lasted up to a week or more. I left and returned almost 50 years later to a change. Snow falls have been replaced for the most part with hail storms, increased wind shear and straight line wind storms, more tornados and humidity. This patch of my world has certainly heated up as droughts continue and food supplies are being affected. Cattlemen are selling off cows at an earlier age due to feed and hay cost combined with drought and diminished pasture land brought on by population development, high tech developments and energy demands. I may have to start looking soon for greener pastures!
It depends where you are standing, down the street from you they could have different weather. Maybe when you had hail they had the typical snow. I live where there are hurricanes and tornadoes and there are just as many as there have always been. It gets insanely hot and humid in GA in the summer and cold in the winter.. like it always has. In PA where I'm from people are worried because they didn't get snow. I remember MANY years growing up not getting snow, it happens. At least we're not living in the worst parts of one of the last 5 ice ages. Yes, farmers are suffering because land is being taken and costs are rising because of government spending. They want to control everything, but what else is new.
Every generation has had different weather "norms" then the previous. You will hear the older folks of each generation talk about how the weather is different from when they grew up. Even from generations prior to the industrial revolution, so CO2 & climate change was not a factor for them. The only normal is a changing climate.
I’m in Massachusetts, this sounds identical to what we experienced last year. We literally had almost no rain, extreme high temperatures of 96°-97° up to 102° _DAILY_ with nearly no cloud cover from May into the first part of October. And then just like that, it snapped and cooled and stayed cool - but mild. This past winter was also probably the most mild winter I’ve ever seen. I think we got about 8-9” where I live in SE Mass. But I’m 37 and that was without question the hottest, driest, most extreme spring, summer and fail I’ve ever felt
As a sailor travelling around the world, learning more about meteorology as part of my training and through experience, as well as always having been fascinated by meteorology and geography, things such as El Niño are very interesting. I have noticed how seemingly more extreme the weather is globally, not just back in my native UK.
When I was in Brazil, on my last ship last summer, the daily weather was just as extreme in how quickly it changed as back here in the UK. Bright, sunny, equatorial conditions then a few hours later monsoon like rain that caused loads of landslides and flooding with deaths and widespread damage. We later sailed through a monsoonal tropical cyclone (not a TRS/Typhoon/Hurricane but a pretty low pressure) in the Arabian Sea and the rain was comparable to what we experienced in Brazil.
Brazilian here and I live on São Paulo, where metereologist throws their hand to the air because the weather is quite unpredictable. Sure they do get some days right... but there always that day when no rain was forecasted and then rains like there is no tomorrow... or a day that was forecasted as colder was so hot that you can fry a egg in a rock. You can feel this discrepancy more keenly in the Capital City, which is a gigantic heat isle, full of shiny, glasss panelled buildings trapping heat.
In my city here in the north of brazil, every summer we have a kind of tropical storm which makes wind here around 80-110km/h, the rain is extreme and even with our brick houses that are very resistent some even lose their roofs or collapse due to falling trees.
Brilliantly explained 👍
I'm in southern California & the weather has been more insane this past year than I can remember in the last 15. Summer was normal, but in Autumn we didn't have the regular fires & it was a bit cooler with some rain.☔ But that was a welcome surprise.
Winter was absolutely bonkers tho! We actually had a winter! There were some weeks where it was raining non-stop for days.🌧️ The mountains had record breaking snowfall & even now, in May, there's still snow on them!🏔️ It was incredibly cold. So cold that it snowed in LA!❄️ I work near Disneyland & we got about 30 second of snow! But that was in between the days of hail storms! There was even a tornado!! 🌪️
As I was heading home today another storm was starting to roll in. The mountaintops have been in the clouds for the past 3 days, so they might be getting more snow! I'm not looking forward to find out how muggy this summer is probably gonna be, but at least we still have the beach!⛱️
Yeah emoji game 💯
Saw extreme overuse of emojis so I stopped reading
This was indeed a wet year, i remember the 98-99 winter was the wettest since i moved here in 93
and it's not el nino
Winter.... Raining.... We had 50 cm of snow in less than 8 hours in iceland. I legit couldn't get my car out of my parking spot. The snow plowing of the street just made it worse and added the plowed snow to the exit of the driveway.
You're telling me the last 3 years were supposed to be the "cold" phase? And they were still some of the hottest years on record? We are so cooked
Edit: This El Nino phase is already shaping up to be the most powerful in recorded history
Nah.
Gonna get colder…
We're all going to die very soon and it's too late to do anything about it.
I come from Peru, I am in Peru the country form which "El Niño" is from, and I can tell you the world is so bastly unprepared for what we face every now and then cyclically, I knew it was becoming global last year, temperature rose to five degrees Celcius above and below that of what is normal, unending months of floods and rainfall unlike what had ever been seen. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL, you'll need it.
We are approaching the sun cycle maximum, so it will cool down...
The last maximum was 2012 when alot of heat records were broken, and was at a minimum in 2019 when a bunch of snowfall records were broken in the norther hemisphere
I remember the El Niño in 97-98. There was SOOO MUCH FLOODING in Southern California.
My friends mom ended up stuck on top of her minivan dressed as Mother Goose.
Some places the street flooding was waist high.
I remember el niño in Philippines in 2010. It was a severe. No rain at all in above 3 months. The grass and farms turns to brown. Then came rainy season and it gave birth to a super typhoon juan(megi) in 2010
Hi I am from Colombia. So we are really affected by these changes. One of the things I have noticed is that about 4 years ago we had no rain and a lot of towns were going through a dry season (as we called it in Spanish "tiempo seco")
but recently it is all the opposite, we are having tons of rain. there is places where now there are lakes that we we thought they were dried out forever
It's so bizarre.
I'm from Australia, so it's exactly the same but in reverse.
My whole life, the natural landscape has been brown in summer.
But, as you say, about 4 years ago we started having ridiculous amounts of rain i'd never seen, floods, and it's constantly green.
Before that, our lakes were close to dry for a while.
It'd be nice to have a balance, so neither of our countries experience drought for too long!
I'm from Zimbabwe, its hotter compared to the past years before industrialisation, climate has changed globally. I have not been understanding the el Nino and La Nino concept until my studies on Global environmental impact and climate change on my final year at university level. El Nino is a very dangerous phenomenon l can tell
Astrum I love your content, I’ve been watching since 2019 and it only makes me happier to see you succeed! Keep up the amazing work, cheers 🎉
I don't know if this was caused by La Nina, but California had record breaking snow and rain this past fall and winter and I loved every bit of it.
I live in Edmonton Alberta and this el nino winter has been amazing. Usually like -30 around this time of year but it's only 0 out today Jan 24th
Imagine how powerful and destructive a tropical cyclone would be if it formed in that area. Remember; the fastest tropical cyclone on record, Hurricane Patricia, formed not too far from that El Niño location. That tropical cyclone reached a speed of around 215mph (346kph).
I'm Bolivian, I remember being in class as a kid/teenager and hearing about "el niño/la niña" never really understood what it meant but with the video now it makes sense and I do think we have it mild effects here compared to other parts of the world
I live in the north region of Brazil and the rains get wild between December and February, the rivers Itacaiunas and Tocantins rises about 13 meters beyond their average levels during this period.
got to clarify, usually El Niño oscilates between 4 to 5 years, with cases ranging from as little as 2 years to as much as seven years, coincidentally, the las El Niño year was in 2016, which was exactly 7 years ago.
Last El Niño was 2018-2019 actually and it never been 5 years without an El Niño event
In New Zealand, we hardly had a summer this year. It was mostly raining, and we have had on going floods all year.
Although I haven’t surfed for a few years, weather watching sticks with you. And we used to love the el nino..
This is the weirdest year I have known in my 40 odd years on earth.
The seasons have also shifted slightly and are over lapping with each other.
Past two years here in Hawkes Bay the grass has been green at the end of summer when normally it would be yellow. Then there was the cyclone of course.
I am born and raised in the Philippines and I would like to share our experience...
EL NIÑO: GIVES US DROUGHT IN SOME AREAS IN OUR COUNTRY AND VERY VERY HOT SUMMER MONTHS...
LA NIÑA: GIVES/CREATES MANY TYPHOONS AND RAINY DAYS (mostly mid-year;JUNE TO OCTOBER)
Disclaimer: I am not a Weather Expert, just a local who lives in the city and have vacations in provinces...
I'm from the Philippines too and I hate La Niña more than El Niño.
Experiencing a rain for a week or a month with strong Typhoons all along is a nightmare for floods. 😭
It's hard to dry clothes and if you have plants, they'll die for lack of sunlight.
@@connordrake5713 true✔...and worst is that I live near a creek😅
Yall live in the urban areas but for us who live in rural parts, wed rather have la niña than el niño. We have lesser crops, no water, high temperatures leading to heat strokes, etc during el niño. Go consume imported goods then, if yall want el niño so bad
@@-...................- Dude,who u fighting to? I understand your point...we need water for better crop production and we never said we like el niño! Actually both is bad...too much heat and too much rain! I'm living in the City and had years lived in the Province that's what I can share👍👍
@@connordrake5713 I'm from central luzon, even with La Niña it barely rains here ( or atleast there wasn't any too excessive amount of rain for the last three years) I wonder what El Niño's effect will be
Excellent video Alex, everyone is interested in this subject and you made it very easy and fun to watch. 🙂
This was a very interesting and concise explanation of terms familiar to the ear but normally lacking in understanding of their vast global impact! Much appreciated❣️🐅
Here, in Cusco - Perú, just two weeks ago we experienced some extreme weather, we had rain, cold wind and 4°C in a time where it usually makes a lot of sun and it's generally hot. And with all of that, it snowed (it hasn't snowed here since 2004) but just in the higher parts of the city and the region.
We've had La Nina here in Texas for the past 3 years and it has been extremely dry during the summers. El Nino is a welcome change. Looking forward to our rivers being replenished.
You can have it! Australia has record breaking rain and floods and looking forward to some dry warm weather as long as it doesnt bring catastrophic bushfires
It’s happening everywhere last year and what I’ve noticed when I was a kid I could walk on pavements bare footed now it’s like putting your foot on a oven in the dry months
Here in argentina we have had La Niña as well. It's been awful, we could cross our then immense rivers walking, and since we are a country that lives off agriculture the losses have been tremendous. It was horrible whenever I went from town to town and I see the burned corn under 42° in this summer. Here (llanura pampeana) used to be the most productive soil. When I was younger we had tornado coils (we almost are in a tornado area) and they ripped trees and it was impossible to go out your house... so I don't know what's better but I'm betting our economy needs urgent rescue
I heard new zealand had a ridiculously rainy season as well
We've also had La Niña in South Africa for the past 3 years, except the weather has been glorious. The summers have been cool and wet and I'm not complaining.
I think this explains why winter in my area (mid eastern Pennsylvania) has got so mild, my yard has had green grass all season. and this past season i haven't had to shovel or plow once because it was just not sticking or it melted within a few hours. amazing video. this fills a huge gap in my knowledge of weather. and according to this that means in another year or 2 ill be dealing with feet of snow again like they have out west. mind blown.
Amazing video, thank you very much. I've always struggled to get to grips with the ENSO but this video describes it perfectly.
I just completed part of my meteorology education and will earn my forecasting certs in the next year so this video was extremely insightful, especially love this video because it’s Astrum ❤
Good luck on your new career. There are lots of successful meteorology channels here on AdTube because folks are interested in the topic. One potential niche you might exploit is weather forecasting for travellers going outside the US. Pick the most popular tourist destinations and provide an extended forecast for that area. Seasonal trends in tourism would make you necessarily shift your focus and the global perspective you would have to develop would make you a genius-level expert. For good measure you might also throw in CDC and State department advisory info, too. As a frequent traveller I would subscribe for sure.
Good luck!:
At what school are you studying Meteorology?
This is a really fantastic video. I'm an oceanographer and studied the ENSO and this summary is absolutely amazing. Love this
Could the ocean heating create a feedback loop of
heat➡️water vapor➡️heat
causing a rapid exponential growth of global temperatures?
Here in the UK, when the pandemic occurred, the March of 2020 was very warm, the later summer sort of fizzled out. In 21 again a hot March, and a reasonable summer. Last year March was warm, followed by a cracking summer. This year, they've announced that La Nina, is coming to an end, and March, April and May have been really cold, be interesting to see what kind of summer we have.
Don't think you live in the UK mate
@@spindle7397 True its more like the middle east looking at it.
Yeah, it seems May will be rather cold. But honestly, I would be quite happy if these will be no heatwaves as we had last summer
Man last summer wasn't cracking, it was unbearable, I guess you don't work outside.
@@morgasm657 after the miserable summers I've experienced, it was cracking
The earth has been changing since it was created
mass extinction events are also a thing
and this recent change is caused by us
Exactly, the earth has and will be in a constant form of change even long after humans are long gone and until whatever it will be that takes earth out. Species also die out, evolve, new species come about. What takes the place of humans who knows.
"Created" 🤭
Love how you are combining absolute chill tunes with beautiful pictures, a calm soothing voice you could fall asleep to and the very topic of destruction, disaster and death. If i didnt listen to the words i could imagine you sharing a sad love story with a happy ending 😅
Living in Buffalo NY my whole life, I have notice for the past couple of decades that our weather has become more (in a very non- scientific terms) clumped up. That is to say, more extremes over shorter periods of time, with fewer of the gentler transitions from one air mass to the next or one season to the next that I remember from the 1960's and 70's. We have more wind, less snow that stays on the ground all winter, and fluctuations from blizzard conditions to warmer days immediately following. Our springs are no longer springs, but rather, cold, rainy, and miserable.Our summers start up at the last second in early June, and our falls are warmer, starting and lasting much later. As if the seasons have shifted around to about 2 months later. In the 1970's, you could feel fall starting in early to mid August. I've noticed all of this long before they started talking about climate change. It would be great to have this explained.
This is all a result of anthropogenic warming. Extreme shifts in weather and tempature. In Canada we recently experienced a week of 30 degree temps which immediately transitioned to 0 degree temps a few days later, an event I can't remember happening in my lifetime.
Thanks for a great video! I’m in SA and La Niña has definitely produced wetter-than-normal conditions for the past two years. I’m getting anxious about the onset of El Niño, as it signifies drought conditions for SA. You may recall Cape Town’s Day Zero scenario a few years ago, before the oscillation moved to a cool phase. With the increasing water content of the air over the Indian Ocean, plus higher temperatures overall, we’ve begun to experience flooding on the East coast, as stronger trade winds associated with La Liña push more intense low pressure systems further Westward. I’m not a geographer, but I find this oscillation both fascinating and disturbing, and I subscribe to the US weather service’s email updates.
It's like the birds and bees weatherwise..ying and yang.
In Colombia where I live, albeit having a large Pacific Coast, just North of Ecuador and Peru, we experience drought during El Niño. One multi-year one during the 90s was specially bad. It rained so little that the Hydroelectric plants couldn’t keep up with the energy demand of the country, so scheduled blackouts were carried out.
In southern CA we recently experienced unbelievable downpours (atmospheric rivers) Dec.22, Jan, Feb, March which finally relieved our massive drought. The way it came down reminded me of El Nino 97-98. We just experienced a "May Rain" which NEVER happens here. It will be interesting to see what occurs later this year, but this time I'm definitely prepared. Thank you for your insight.
Hi Shannon! I have to laugh... I'm in Los Angeles and made a similar comment to yours... even indicating the rain we just received in May!! I for one love the rain so I was lovin' it.
Im in Northern California (SF Bay). The atmospheric rivers have been pretty fairly distributed across the state, with the north receiving consistent rain even in May (which is an anomaly) . This has been a miracle year for relieving the pressures of the drought we had been facing, and most reservoirs are at relatively comfortable levels. The hot topic is the exceptional snowpack melting too rapidly and causing floods.
Last year, the hills turned brown in late March/early April. Today, it's middle of May and they're still green! I drove down to the central coast to see the super blooms in Carrizo Plain and they were one of the most beautiful and incredible things I've ever seen. I went same time last year and there were no flowers!
@@thenear1send That's great to hear! It was looking pretty dire for Cali for the past couple of years with the lack of precipitation. Happy to hear there's been some relief!
As a Southern Californian, I just ate a big burrito and dropped a massive El Niño in the toilet.
@@tyleryoung306 I live in sf and can tell you we have definitely not had consistent rain idk what that guy was telling you . We got a couple days of rain the last few months and one was really hard and lasted 2 days . That was over a month ago now though. And most of our soil didn't even take up the rain from how hard our soil got from being dry . It created more mudslides that's about it For the whole year . We will need constant rain for months to get in a ok zone at this point .
I'm in the south central United States, and this spring has been very dry and chilly so far. It's supposed to change this weekend but it seems odd to have so much cool weather this late/often.
I’m in the Carolina’s and I fully agree has been almost winter like in temps - 50s for high late April is weird yet we had no snow this winter
Climate change is painfully real. Global temperatures may be getting warmer overall but the yearly consequence of that is that weather is going to be more unpredictable and more extreme. I'm not even 30 yet and I've noticed it within my own life just in the last decade.
Here in Costa Rica La Niña intensifies the rainy season and makes the weather colder and pleasant while El Niño causes the opposite and the risk of drought increases. Where I currently live, in 2015 we didn't saw rain the entire year, so this time unfortunately I think it will be worse. Suffice to say the heat is unbearable.🇨🇷
I live in southwest Florida. An I think it has been one of the driest summer this year.
I have a lawn service business and a lot of the spots in customers lawns were not near as wet as normal.
Not sure how this correlates, but here in some places in Malaysia, weather has been pretty crazy these past few weeks, clear skies and very hot weather in the morning & heavy thunderstorms in the evening. School kids are given leeway to wear shirts instead of the usual stuffy school uniforms due to the heat. The northern states near to Thailand has just been hot from what I hear in the local news, so I imagine Thailand has a pretty hot weather right now.
I am over the border in trang. It has been very hot with some storms but not a lot of rain. Wet season is late. The trang islands are running out of water.
Malaysian here, weather has been sunny and good, thanks.
It barely goes below freezing here in western NY during a La Nina. 15 years ago we had snow covering the ground from November till April almost every year. Going into an el Nino now would make this an extremely mild winter which may feel nice but its actually bad quite bad for the area.
@@Marfil0 ?
@@clownavenger0 you look weird🤣
Where I live in the southern US, the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region of Texas, El Niño is preferable because it brings us more rain and less heat (but usually more humidity). The past 3 years of La Niña were hard on us as drought has gotten worse and many rivers and creeks went dry in 2022.
I’m all for El Niño this year since that should mean a wet winter and spring into 2024.
El Nino or La Nina coming is not the problem. The fact is they are getting more intense and more frequent. The normal years are decreasing, That's the problem
I doubt this El Niño be a good thing for Dallas, especially if we end up with heavy snow that disables the power for weeks on end.
@@_ilynux Why you americans can't build a reliable infrastructure that doesn't destroy by tornadoes, wind and snow instead f*cking other countries with military force?
Coming from Utah and Nevada..I can’t help but laugh whenever somebody here in DFW starts crying drought. We’re just fine here.
Fantastic description of this phenomena...you are one of my fav narrators...you speak as though you are smiling😁
Living on the East Coast of Australia we hear about La Nina and La Nino all the time and the possible effects it's probably going to cause us in the coming Weeks and Months regarding Weather forecasts. We just came out of a 3 straight Seasons of La Nina and most people have heard about the horrific contrasts the whole coast has been going through, of Bush Fires like never seen before in my 60 years as well as massive Floods we never use to have, that I can think of. Some have blamed recent weather on the Tonga Volcano - who know really...?
The floods were worse in the 70s
We know exactly why.
@@overworlder There are multiple factors, factors that get left out if people just say climate change.
The aboriginals laughed at the white man when they built there houses in these flood plains
Dearest fellow Australians, Apologies for the spam but I feel this is important. The amazing boom of plant life we have received as a result of the La Nina's if a greet blessing indeed. We can keep it but it must be carefully managed. The time is now, we must demand the restoration of bush clean up crews canned buy governments on cost. Demand the reform of red tape policies in regards to private land controlled burns. Increase the use of strategic fire breaks.
Most importantly of all we must increase the use of Indigenous fire management. Well there were no doubt catastrophic fires prior to European arrival. It is proven that this practice greatly reduced them. This is also an opportunity for needed Aboriginal employment, and others as many hands are needed.
I say this as a humble horticulturalist who deeply appreciates Australia's unique botany and everything that comes with it. Botany that has the presence of fire written in its DNA, but would much rather not be hit with a massive fire storm.
It is not enough for Governments ( any governments ) to say prepare your homes. They have in my opinion atrociously neglected this issue with red tape and hand sitting. It is not enough. Time to get pestering Local, State, Federal both isles.
Give them hell before hell starts in the Bush, Kind Regards.
Currently live in Las Vegas near lake mead, and used to live in Tumbes, Peru. Never thought I’d see a video that talked about both places in the same video. Regardless, video was extremely well done and very informative! I’ll be coming back to this channel!
This is interesting. Here in coastal southern California we've experienced a much longer rainy season than usual. Further North experienced record snowfalls in places like lake Tahoe, that lead to flooding from the snow melt, like the flooding seen in Yosemite National Park.
Here in M.P (india) we kind of enjoyed la niña . The weather was cool enough!
I’m a paleontologist that lives in South Dakota and I noticed in a picture 4 years ago the dirt here was lighter and after that I went to my dig site and found how deadly El Niño could be.4 years ago there was thriving wildlife bobcats,ferrets,groundhogs now I look outside and all I can see is dead grass and bugs.a La Niña would be life changing for South Dakota.god help us all
2002 July 16 it was the day before my birthday and lake meads water was 4x taller than it is today
Would it be a good thing or bad thing since it is going to slightly change the weather, like for me in Texas we are instead of getting a drought the summer going to have annually rain more frequently so which means no more dead grass like the last summer
Here in Argentina we've had a massive drought these past three years and this year more than 50% of the soybean harvest was lost, we're heading into a recession because agriculture is a huge part of our GDP. This year has barely rained during the wet season in some parts. We're glad to see El Niño come back, and are probably heading into a historical harvest season by summer.
Mi viejo es ingeniero agronomo y siempre dice eso! despues de una seca historica se viene una cosecha historica! Ojala sea así porque no nos vendría mas UNA buena jasjjajs a veces no alcanza con ser campeones del mundo ok
Interesting to see how there are some quick major climatic events that affect us, and that we can only sit, prepare, watch and survive as they pass us by!!
Or we can stop using fossil fuels, polluting the air, and exacerbating the impact of the climate. The philosophy of "we can't do anything" / "only god controls the weather" is going to be remembered VERY poorly by future generations.
