El cielo estalló en miles de rayos este viernes 30 de enero. La baja segregada dejó gran actividad convectiva, originando hasta focos de incendios.

Global sea surface temperatures are currently the fourth highest ever recorded for this time of year, raising renewed concerns among climate scientists as a developing El Niño event threatens to push marine heat to unprecedented levels.

Les modèles climatiques indiquent un réchauffement rapide de l’océan Pacifique avec un El Niño en 2026 : découvrez les prévisions.

A crazy amount of heat has accumulated in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean over the past two months. Hold on to your hats when this reaches the surface with the next El Niño. Y-axis shows depth, X-axis shows degree longitude (one degree equals 111 km) and colors temp anomalies. https://t.co/NmmWDIZdLV

## La Niña continues but transition to El Niño likely Weak La Niña continued through December 2025 but weather conditions in the Pacific Northwest have not necessarily reflected this. While British Columbia has received decent snowfall over the last couple of weeks, the mountains of Washington and Oregon have remained well below average. The high pressure that is starting to dominate West Coast weather won’t help that situation. Low-elevation locations will remain cool due to temperature inversions but warm air aloft will melt a lot of the mid-elevation snow that accumulated since around Christmas. > _Ingalls Weather thanks the support it gets from donors.

Overall near average temperatures are favored under ENSO-Neutral conditions in the Pacific Northwest but there is high variability. The same is the case for precipitation. High variability means we could see long periods of wet weather followed by long periods of persistent ridging to keep the region dry. Through mid-February, ridging brings strong temperature inversions. That influence wanes as the sun angle rises with the seasonal change.

El Niño’s influence is generally weaker in the summer months but they do bring a possibility of a warmer than average summer. Roughly 60-70% of El Niño summers in the historical record brought above average temperatures to the Pacific Northwest. Since we’re transitioning to El Niño, I would expect this influence to be better manifest toward August. Above average temperatures foster more aggressive wildfire growth but I think the bigger player here is actually snowpack from this winter (or the lack thereof). Most of British Columbia is approaching what I would call a healthy snowpack but as noted above the U.S. side of the Pacific Northwest is not. Healthy snow in the mountains is critical for keeping moisture in the soil later in the season as the snow acts as a sort of reservoir well after the wet season ends. What we’re looking for now is rapid gains in Washington and Oregon for late-Winter and early-Spring followed by mild Spring weather so we can have a slow melt. At least of the next two weeks rapid mountain snowfall is very unlikely in the Pacific Northwest. It is certainly possible to get heavy late-season snow (we saw this in 2019), but models offer no strong signal for it right now. Even if we do end up getting the snow we need, one or two warm weekends in May could decimate it anyway. Outside of wildfire concerns the risk of significant drought remains in the Pacific Northwest this year. Some bloggers have been desperate to spike the football on the Yakima River watershed, among others, because it rained a lot in December (with the added bonus of repeatedly claiming big snow was forecast when it really wasn’t). Reservoirs on the Yakima River and tributaries are actually well above average for this time of year, but that doesn’t tell us the whole story. Most of the water fell as rain, not snow, and the Bureau of Reclamation won’t hold onto that water forever. Healthy snowpack with a slow melt is more helpful than heavy wintertime rain because with snow, we continue to add water to the reservoirs into the early-Summer months well beyond the end of the wet season. Without that, agencies will have to manage the existing water supply more rigidly by releasing less water from the reservoirs to ensure appropriate supply for agriculture and municipalities through the summer. We still have a lot of Winter to go (but not much La Niña) so the situation isn’t dire yet, but time is slowly running out. Every day without healthy snow in the mountains lowers our chances of having it when we need it most. La Niña and El Niño refer to sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean near the equator. During La Niña, temperatures are below average while El Niño reflects above average conditions. The in between is termed ENSO-Neutral. La Niña and El Niño are influential in North American weather by helping determine where the jet stream and storm track end up traveling across the continent. _The featured image is sea surface temperature anomalies in the tropical Pacific Ocean on January 12, 2026.
