Explore Oregon Podcast: State climatologist talks El Nino, wildfires and climate future
In this episode of the Explore Oregon Podcast, host Zach Urness talks to Oregon state climatologist Larry O'Neill about Oregon's climate future and what the incoming El Nino pattern means for the state.
O'Neill touches on the differences between the La Nina pattern Oregon has been under and the El Nino one that is expected to arrive next winter and could bring extremely warm conditions. He also gets into how increasingly warm Oregon temperatures have impacted the state so far and what we can expect to see in the future.
