Weather to be Difficult to Predict with no El Nino or La Nina Weather to be Difficult to Predict with no El Nino or La Nina

By Matthew Dzenawager

Now the beautiful weather today was expected, however as Fall progresses into the Winter the weather will become more difficult to predict.

Some years, Meteorologists can have some sort of indication whether it will be a warmer in late Fall and Winter season, with El Nino forming in the pacific or colder with La Nina forming in the Pacific.

This year neither is expected, so whether or not to keep the winter jackets stowed away for longer or shorter than usual is unknown.

Julian Slaughter from Georgia says that it is frustrating when the weather report is wrong.

Yes, yes If I look at my phone, on the weather app and it says one thing and I have to do something else, I hate that. A lot of times, I see what I’m wearing right now it’s probably around 80 degrees or it feels like 80 degrees I’m in all sleeves and pants you can tell I’m from Georgia I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, but yeah”

Maryland native Ethan Lake does not think it matters as the he will still be wearing the same clothes.

Well i’m not gonna lie, weathers suck here regardless, I feel like I’m still gonna be wearing the same clothes even though its unpredictable. It might be a little non convenient because of not being able to see what you have to wear, but I think the weather, the Winter, is gonna be the same regardless”

Now the weatherman may of got this one right today, warm and sunny, but without the warm trends of El Nino and the cold trends of La nina come this winter it is going to be hard to predict the weather day by day. With NCC News I’m Matt Dzenawager

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC News) — Neither El Nino or La Nina is expected to form in the Pacific this year. El Nino, typically causes a warmer Late Fall and Winter in the Northeast, and La Nina, the opposite.

Without either forecasters will have a more difficult time predicting the weather.

The Georgia native Julian Slaughter says when the weather is wrong he becomes frustrated.

“If I look at my phone, on the weather app and it says one thing and it’s something else, I hate that,” he said. 

Last time El Nino formed in the Pacific in 2015-2016 Syracuse had its fourth warmest Winter ever.

In a Syracuse.com article Mark Wysocki said one thing they will be watching closely is the position of the jet stream. Through that information, they can better predict whether Central New York’s winter will be wet or dry, warm or cold.

Maryland native Ethan Lake will wear the same clothes and expect a typical Central New York Winter no matter what forecasters say.

“Well i’m not gonna lie, weathers suck here regardless, I feel like I’m still gonna be wearing the same clothes even though its unpredictable. It might be a little non convenient because not being able to see what you have to wear, but I think it’s gonna be the same regardless,” he said.
