Impact of El Nino on key crops in Asia
2015-05-11 23:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Closely watched weather forecasts by Japan and Australia on Tuesday are likely to confirm the return of El Nino this year. In 2009, the weather pattern had caused the worst drought in four decades in India and ravaged croplands across Asia, driving food prices to multi-year highs. See below for a list of crops most at risk from an El Nino. WHEAT Australia's high-protein wheat crop is likely to take a hit with El Nino expected to bring dry weather across its eastern grain-belt. Wheat is planted...
El Nino, Arctic ice melt could mean colder winter in Europe
2015-05-07 17:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Next winter in Europe could be colder and drier than the previous two mild winters, which drove down gas and power consumption, the chief meteorologist at Thomson Reuters Point Carbon said. Two factors pointed to potentially chillier winter weather - an El Nino phenomenon that could warm sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific, and the melting of the Arctic ice cap. "If El Nino is strong in the middle of the Pacific it could mean colder weather in Europe than during recent winters, because...
Japan forecaster: El Nino likely to emerge by summer
2015-04-10 07:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Japan's weather bureau said in its monthly outlook on Friday that the possibility of an El Nino weather pattern forming by summer remains high, but gave no probability forecast. The previous El Nino, which emerged last summer, ended over winter and conditions appear to be normal now, the bureau said. Last month, it raised its projections for an El Nino pattern emerging by summer to more than 50 percent. U.S. and Australian weather bureaus have also put the probability for the phenomenon emerging...

Australia on El Nino watch after Pacific Ocean warms
2015-03-03 05:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Australia's weather bureau said on Tuesday the chance of an El Nino developing this year had risen to about 50 percent after signs of renewed warming in tropical Pacific Ocean. The Bureau of Meteorology said six out of eight international models it surveyed indicated that sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean would exceed El Nino thresholds by mid-year. El Nino can prompt drought in Southeast Asia and Australia and heavy rains in South America, hitting production of food such as...
