El Niño by US city

Fifty metro areas, one page each: how wet and how warm December–February was in the three super El Niño winters on record — 1982–83, 1997–98 and 2015–16 — measured at that city’s own NOAA station, against its 1991–2020 normal. Three winters are a small sample; this is history, not a forecast. Each page also shows where NOAA’s current winter outlook places the city.

Station data downloaded November 11, 2026 from NOAA NCEI Climate at a Glance. Looking for a whole state? State-by-state winters.
