Weather aligarh 10-day

Good Tuesday, bloggers, With school out and event season ramping up, summer certainly feels like it is in motion here in Kansas City! Technically, summer does not start for another 9 days ... but before we get started on that topic, I wanted to address the elephant in the weather room — El Niño! There is certainly a lot of hype and chatter going on through the weather community about this topic. So let's get up to speed a bit. In May, Overall, this isn't something we watch closely here in KC during the summer because El Niño events tend to be low impact for us during this time. This is mainly because the jet stream is weaker and farther north during the summer (and one of El Niño's big impacts is on the jet stream). Now that all being said, there is some research that has pointed to there being an impact during the summer of a developing El Niño. "During the summer of developing El Niño events, temperatures across the Midwest were slightly cooler than normal. This trend was strongest when Oceanic Niño Index values were already nearing a moderate El Niño during the summer months," according to a recent study by the Midwestern Regional Climate Center. This is a standard we are currently approaching and is most likely why the CPC has Kansas City in the "equal chances" zone for summer temperatures being above or below average. So let's look a little deeper. When you compare current sea surface temperatures (SSTs) to the last strong El Niño event, there are certainly some big s...
