Line graph showing observed and predicted temperatures in the key ENSO-monitoring region of the tropical Pacific from spring 2025 through the fall. By late summer, the shading spans from El Niño to La Niña, showing the range of potential ENSO states. However, the majority of model forecasts are concentrated in the neutral range, meaning the highest chance is that the temperature in the Niño-3.4 region of the tropical Pacific will be near average.

A hiker standing at the top of a mountain. A quote from Sabrina of Lake Tahoe, CA, 1991 says, "I decided to hike Mt. Tallac, 10 miles, often running. I chose to hike alone, without water, and I did not check the weather. When I returned I was clammy, shaking, ash gray, and had a splitting headache and felt nauseous. It took over a day to recover. Don't be lazy. Always have plenty of water."
An adult checking on a child in the backseat of a car. The text says, “Don’t forget anyone in a hot car. Everyone operates on auto-pilot once in a while. Have a plan! Place a bag or other item in the backseat to remind you of passengers after you park. Place a stuffed animal in the front seat as a reminder to check for passengers. Consider additional methods, such as phone alarms, partner/buddy check-ins, or built-in car reminder systems.”
Two graphs with the title "Mean daily surface temperature during 2024." One graph shows temperature from January 2024 through January 2025 near the Galapagos, while the second graph shows the same data near Washington D.C. The graphs show the average climatology in a black line, with variations above in red and below in blue.
