According to a recent article in Farm Progress, the current very strong El Nino is near its peak intensity as one of the strongest El Ninos on record. There is now a 54% chance water temperatures will reach 3.6F above normal across the key region, according to the U.S. Climate Prediction Center. Those odds were calculated at 35% just a month ago.
