ENSO conditions ‘likely’ to affect Caribbean weather

The Barbados-based Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum (CariCOF) Monday said that the Caribbean weather conditions will most likely be affected over the next three months as ENSO conditions in the Pacific are forecast to transition to neutral or El Niño by June.

ENSO-El Niño-Southern Oscillation- conditions refer to the natural, recurring, three to seven year cycle of sea surface temperature fluctuations in the central and eastern tropical Pacific and the corresponding atmospheric pressure changes.
