El Niño predicted to start in four to eight weeks
Friday, October 10, 2014, 4:32 PM - El Niño is forecast to begin in the next 1-2 months and
last into the spring of 2015 in the Northern Hemisphere, according to a Thursday statement
released by the National Atmospheric Oceanic Administration (NOAA).

The weather event has been making headlines months, despite the fact that meteorologists now
predict this year's El Niño will be 'weak' in nature.
"Most models predict El Niño to develop during October-December 2014 and to continue into
early 2015," NOAA's Climate Prediction Center said in its Thursday statement.
"The consensus of forecasters is a 2-in-3 chance of El Niño during the November 2014-January 2015
season. This El Niño will likely remain weak ... throughout its duration."
The most current models differ from predictions made earlier in the year, when some predicted
we could see a strong El Niño, similar to the one observed in 1997-1998.
