Many parts of rural America have seen some wild back-and-forth temperature swings combined with on-again, off-again winter weather. John Baranick, an agricultural meteorologist from DTN, said we’re seeing a lot of normal temperature swings during the transition from winter to spring.
Forecasters are predicting a switch from a La Niña to an El Niño this year. While a term making rounds on social media predicts a “Godzilla El Niño,” Baranick said it will likely be a strong El Niño, no matter how you refer to it.
However, this is nothing new for the Midwest. Baranick said the U.S. just had a Super El Niño a few years ago.
