Here are the latest publicly available updates on El Niño as of now:
- NOAA CPC outlooks indicate El Niño development is possible between May and July, with a growing likelihood of El Niño conditions emerging after a neutral period. This suggests ongoing warmer Pacific conditions could influence global weather patterns into the summer and fall.[2]
- Recent press coverage notes that El Niño’s influence has been fading and forecasts had increasingly pointed toward a transition to La Niña by summer, though current updates suggest the timeline may shift and El Niño development remains plausible in the coming months.[1][6]
- Forecasters have issued El Niño watch status, meaning conditions are favorable for El Niño formation within the next six months, with probabilities typically around the 60%–65% range in mid-2024–mid-2026 windows depending on oceanic signals.[3]
Notes:
- If you’d like, I can pull the most current official outlooks from NOAA CPC and WMO and provide a concise, dated summary with key probabilities and regional impacts.
- I can also add a brief explanation of what El Niño means for weather in Europe (including France) and for Atlantic hurricane activity, if that would help your planning.
Would you like a focused summary from NOAA CPC and WMO sources with dates and regional implications? I’ll include direct citations.

Latest news on El Niño, the warm phase of the El Niño-La Niña climate pattern, which significantly alters global atmospheric circulation, affecting temperature
www.newsnow.co.ukEl Niño is still clinging to life in the tropical Pacific Ocean, but it’s losing its grip on the Earth’s weather patterns and is forecast to be vanquished soon – perhaps as early as next month.
www.foxweather.comA strong El Niño sounds ominous — but one expert offers some answers about what could be ahead for the 2023-2024 season. Forecasters say El Niño, a climate pattern known for warmer ocean temperatures and increased rain and snow, is likely here to stay until early 2024. A massive heat wave is putting nearly 100 million people under intense triple-digit heat in the coming days. Here's how El Niño is contributing to the high temperatures.
www.cbsnews.comEl Niño continued its fade from the tropical Pacific Ocean over the past month, loosening its influence on the Earth’s weather patterns and likely entering its final weeks.
www.foxweather.comGeneva (WMO) – There is a 55% chance of a weak La Niña impacting weather and climate patterns during the next three months, according to the latest Update from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Even though La Niña has a temporary cooling influence on global average temperatures, many regions are still expected to be warmer than normal.
