It's this massive shift in the way that climate is going to unfold over the next year and a half or so.

And that can affect the way that weather is felt in your day-to-day life.

The models are very confident that El Nino is coming.

I would say 80 to 90 to 100% confident that El Nino is coming.

Right now, the uncertainty lies in how strong that El Nino event is, whether it's moderate, very strong, extreme.

And that's kind of where the models are starting to firm up.

Give us another month or two, and I think the models will start to agree.

Typically, the models don't decide a specific date when an El Nino arrives.

It's not a weather pattern in that way.

It's more of a slow-moving transition.

So I would expect El Nino to be declared officially, I would say, come this fall.

Yeah, thank you so much.

This was a lot of fun.

Thanks for having me.
