UPDATE 1-U.S. climate center sees shift from La Niña to neutral weather in next month Reuters 3 hrs ago
(Adds details)
April 8 (Reuters) - A transition from La Niña to neutral conditions is likely in the Northern Hemisphere in the next month or so, with an 80% chance of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) neutral conditions during May-July 2021, a U.S. government weather forecaster said on Thursday.
ENSO neutral conditions refer to those periods in which neither El Niño nor La Niña is present, often coinciding with the transition between the two weather patterns, according to the National Weather Service s Climate Prediction Center (CPC).
It is windy, hot and rain has been rare; signs we are in the midst of a typical Florida dry season. On top of that, the U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook from the National Weather Service s Climate Prediction Center released a few weeks ago https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/expert assessment/sdo summary.php indicates drought conditions may develop in South Florida soon.
Some landscapes are showing the signs of dry weather and poor irrigation coverage and others are over-watered and full of dollar weed. It is possible to have a beautiful landscape and conserve water.
The tenets of a water-conscious landscape are simple. Plan for no or low water use by grouping plants in beds by water needs. Reduce turf areas, mulch everything and install low-volume irrigation systems on everything but turf. Calibrate the irrigation system and turn off the irrigation clock and water only when plants need it.
