El Niño Threatens Early Ski Season With Rain
26 Sep
Summary
- El Niño may cause early ski season to be rained out at lower altitudes.
- North-western Europe is expected to face storms in autumn.
- Ski resorts could experience ruinous rainfall at the season's start.
El Niño poses a threat to the early ski season, with experts cautioning of potential rainouts at lower elevations. Forecasts from the Met Office indicate that an oceanic heatwave will drive a torrent of storms across north-western Europe in the autumn.
This atmospheric shift could result in ruinous rainfall for ski resorts just as their season is set to begin. The timing suggests that early-season snow, crucial for the opening of slopes, may be replaced by substantial precipitation, impacting operations and visitor numbers.
