The End of El Niño: What It Means!

ST. PAUL, MNMinnesota just got a reprieve from the warm, dry spell brought on by El Niño. It officially ended in June 2024, leaving us in a transitional phase. However, the weather rollercoaster isn’t over yet. Experts warn that La Niña is on the horizon, and it’s set to make its chilly debut soon.

What is La Niña Anyway?

La Niña is no minor weather event. This phenomenon involves the significant cooling of ocean surface temperatures in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific. When these ocean temperatures drop, they have a global impact, altering weather patterns far and wide, including here in Minnesota.
