&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;El Ni&amp;ntilde;o conditions petering out&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s unlikely to be a drought in 2019 as the El Nino &amp;mdash; a climate phenomenon linked to drying up of the monsoon rains in India &amp;mdash; is likely to peter out by the beginning of the monsoon, according to a forecast on Monday by private weather forecaster Skymet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The El Ni&amp;ntilde;o conditions were on the rise in the Pacific Ocean till December last. The temperatures are now declining, and the probability of El Nino is also falling. This will reduce to about 50% by the time monsoon arrives with a gradual decline thereafter as well. This means it is going to be a devolving El Nino year,&amp;rdquo; said Jatin Singh, managing director, Skymet Weather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An El Nino refers to a half-to-one-degree rise in temperatures in the Central equatorial Pacific and is linked to a reduction in rains over key monsoon belts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier this month, the U.S. National Climate Centre issued a forecast that an El Nino had formed, was likely to persist until spring but there was only a 50% chance that it would persist beyond spring (March-April). &amp;ldquo;Because forecasts through the spring tend to be more uncertain and/or less accurate, the predicted chance that El Ni&amp;ntilde;o will persist beyond spring is 50% or less&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; the climate centre&amp;rsquo;s statement noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skymet defines &amp;lsquo;normal rains&amp;rsquo; as that in a 4% window of 88 cm between June and September; 88 cm means &amp;lsquo;100%&amp;rsquo; rainfall. Anything from 90% to 96% of the normal is &amp;lsquo;below normal&amp;rsquo; and less than 90% constitutes a drought. Mr. Singh said that while the chances of a normal monsoon were the highest, about 50%, the next highest odds were those of &amp;lsquo;below normal&amp;rsquo; rains.&lt;br /&gt;

Anything from 90% to 96% of the normal is &amp;lsquo;below normal&amp;rsquo; and less than 90% constitutes a drought.

&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s unlikely to be a drought in 2019 as the El Nino &amp;mdash; a climate phenomenon linked to drying up of the monsoon rains in India &amp;mdash; is likely to peter out by the beginning of the monsoon, according to a forecast on Monday by private weather forecaster Skymet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The El Ni&amp;ntilde;o conditions were on the rise in the Pacific Ocean till December last. The temperatures are now declining, and the probability of El Nino is also falling. This will reduce to about 50% by the time monsoon arrives with a gradual decline thereafter as well. This means it is going to be a devolving El Nino year,&amp;rdquo; said Jatin Singh, managing director, Skymet Weather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An El Nino refers to a half-to-one-degree rise in temperatures in the Central equatorial Pacific and is linked to a reduction in rains over key monsoon belts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier this month, the U.S. National Climate Centre issued a forecast that an El Nino had formed, was likely to persist until spring but there was only a 50% chance that it would persist beyond spring (March-April). &amp;ldquo;Because forecasts through the spring tend to be more uncertain and/or less accurate, the predicted chance that El Ni&amp;ntilde;o will persist beyond spring is 50% or less&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; the climate centre&amp;rsquo;s statement noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skymet defines &amp;lsquo;normal rains&amp;rsquo; as that in a 4% window of 88 cm between June and September; 88 cm means &amp;lsquo;100%&amp;rsquo; rainfall. Anything from 90% to 96% of the normal is &amp;lsquo;below normal&amp;rsquo; and less than 90% constitutes a drought.

&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;El Ni&amp;ntilde;o conditions petering out&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s unlikely to be a drought in 2019 as the El Nino &amp;mdash; a climate phenomenon linked to drying up of the monsoon rains in India &amp;mdash; is likely to peter out by the beginning of the monsoon, according to a forecast on Monday by private weather forecaster Skymet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The El Ni&amp;ntilde;o conditions were on the rise in the Pacific Ocean till December last. The temperatures are now declining, and the probability of El Nino is also falling. This will reduce to about 50% by the time monsoon arrives with a gradual decline thereafter as well. This means it is going to be a devolving El Nino year,&amp;rdquo; said Jatin Singh, managing director, Skymet Weather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An El Nino refers to a half-to-one-degree rise in temperatures in the Central equatorial Pacific and is linked to a reduction in rains over key monsoon belts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier this month, the U.S. National Climate Centre issued a forecast that an El Nino had formed, was likely to persist until spring but there was only a 50% chance that it would persist beyond spring (March-April). &amp;ldquo;Because forecasts through the spring tend to be more uncertain and/or less accurate, the predicted chance that El Ni&amp;ntilde;o will persist beyond spring is 50% or less&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; the climate centre&amp;rsquo;s statement noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skymet defines &amp;lsquo;normal rains&amp;rsquo; as that in a 4% window of 88 cm between June and September; 88 cm means &amp;lsquo;100%&amp;rsquo; rainfall. Anything from 90% to 96% of the normal is &amp;lsquo;below normal&amp;rsquo; and less than 90% constitutes a drought. Mr. Singh said that while the chances of a normal monsoon were the highest, about 50%, the next highest odds were those of &amp;lsquo;below normal&amp;rsquo; rains.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>&lsquo;El Ni&ntilde;o conditions petering out&rsquo;<br />
<br />
New Delhi: </em>There&rsquo;s unlikely to be a drought in 2019 as the El Nino &mdash; a climate phenomenon linked to drying up of the monsoon rains in India &mdash; is likely to peter out by the beginning of the monsoon, according to a forecast on Monday by private weather forecaster Skymet.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;The El Ni&ntilde;o conditions were on the rise in the Pacific Ocean till December last. The temperatures are now declining, and the probability of El Nino is also falling. This will reduce to about 50% by the time monsoon arrives with a gradual decline thereafter as well. This means it is going to be a devolving El Nino year,&rdquo; said Jatin Singh, managing director, Skymet Weather.<br />
<br />
An El Nino refers to a half-to-one-degree rise in temperatures in the Central equatorial Pacific and is linked to a reduction in rains over key monsoon belts.<br />
<br />
Earlier this month, the U.S. National Climate Centre issued a forecast that an El Nino had formed, was likely to persist until spring but there was only a 50% chance that it would persist beyond spring (March-April). &ldquo;Because forecasts through the spring tend to be more uncertain and/or less accurate, the predicted chance that El Ni&ntilde;o will persist beyond spring is 50% or less&hellip;&rdquo; the climate centre&rsquo;s statement noted.<br />
<br />
Skymet defines &lsquo;normal rains&rsquo; as that in a 4% window of 88 cm between June and September; 88 cm means &lsquo;100%&rsquo; rainfall. Anything from 90% to 96% of the normal is &lsquo;below normal&rsquo; and less than 90% constitutes a drought. Mr. Singh said that while the chances of a normal monsoon were the highest, about 50%, the next highest odds were those of &lsquo;below normal&rsquo; rains.<br />

Drought less probable this year: Skymet -Jacob Koshy

-The Hindu ‘El Niño conditions petering out’ New Delhi: There’s unlikely to be a drought in 2019 as the El Nino — a climate phenomenon linked to drying up of the monsoon rains in India — is likely to peter out by the beginning of the monsoon, according to a forecast on Monday by private weather forecaster Skymet. “The El Niño conditions were on the rise in the Pacific Ocean till December last. The temperatures are now declining, and the probability of El Nino is also falling. This will reduce to about 50% by the time monsoon arrives with a gradual decline thereafter as well. This means it is going to be a devolving El Nino year,” said Jatin Singh, managing director, Skymet Weather. An El Nino refers to a half-to-one-degree rise in temperatures in the Central equatorial Pacific and is linked to a reduction in rains over key monsoon belts. Earlier this month, the U.S. National Climate Centre issued a forecast that an El Nino had formed, was likely to persist until spring but there was only a 50% chance that it would persist beyond spring (March-April). “Because forecasts through the spring tend to be more uncertain and/or less accurate, the predicted chance that El Niño will persist beyond spring is 50% or less…” the climate centre’s statement noted. Skymet defines ‘normal rains’ as that in a 4% window of 88 cm between June and September; 88 cm means ‘100%’ rainfall. Anything from 90% to 96% of the normal is ‘below normal’ and less than 90% constitutes a drought. Mr. Singh said that while the chances of a normal monsoon were the highest, about 50%, the next highest odds were those of ‘below normal’ rains. Please click here to read more.
