WASHINGTON – This year’s monstrous El Niño, nicknamed Godzilla by NASA, is dead. It heated up the globe, but didn’t quite end California’s four-year drought.
In its monthly update Thursday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the El Niño has ended, 15 months after its birth in March 2015. El Niño is a natural warming of parts of the central Pacific that changes weather worldwide.
