Detailed explanation-1: -The predicted change to El Niño conditions means that waters in the Eastern Pacific Ocean near the Equator warm up, shifting the storm track toward Texas and supercharging systems with more moisture and rainfall.
Detailed explanation-2: -El Niño years are typically warmer than normal, but usually favor wetter and cooler than normal weather for parts of Central and South Texas. Unfortunately, history tells us that flood events also happen during El Niño.
Detailed explanation-3: -“ENSO neutral” means neither La Niña nor El Niño is present. Forecasters expect these conditions to last through early summer.
Detailed explanation-4: -El Niño events typically occur every three to seven years and start when the trade winds blowing from the northeast, near the equator in the Northern Hemisphere, weaken. In a strong event, the winds can actually reverse and flow from the west.
