El Niño - What's in store with Chris Brandolino.

Welcome to Blue Shed Diary, a podcast for Farmers and Growers. In Agriculture, there are things we can control but one ofthe biggest influences on-farm is something we can’t control – the weather.  A few days ago, Earth Sciences New Zealand (formally NIWA) confirmed we are in officially in an El Niño period. Predictions are calling this a 'supercharged' El Niño and say this could be one of the strongest on record. This weather pattern will definitely impact all of us, but especially those who make a living from the land. To get a better understanding of what this may mean for us,we are joined by Chris Brandolino, Principal Scientist of Forecasting and Media for Earth Sciences New Zealand. He joins the conversation now.
