More El Niño & predictions
ⓘ Signal = average snowfall in the three strongest El Niño winters since 1996 ('97-98, '15-16, '23-24) versus this resort's own 30-year ERA5 baseline. Southern Hemisphere resorts use SH winters of the same ENSO events. Four stations ship as under review rather than ranked. How we build the forecast →
