Dry season outlook for South Florida is wet, say forecasters

El Niño is a natural climate pattern causing trade winds to weaken across the Pacific Ocean, thus piling warm water up along the Pacific coast of South America. The phenomenon generally causes warmer weather globally, but can bring wet winters to South Florida.

That’s because El Niño causes the subtropical jet stream, which travels west to east over the Pacific, to shift to the south, picking up moisture over the Gulf of Mexico and steering storms across the southern U.S. to us.

The NWS’s technical definition of a “strong” El Niño is when the sea surface temperatures in the Pacific off South American average 1.5 degrees C above normal. NWS models show that’s very likely this winter
