We do not republish articles from Newsweek. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on newsweek.com (opens in a new tab)Newsweek reports the latest federal forecast for a strong El Niño, giving the Climate Prediction Center's probabilities, comparing them with the previous month and quoting NOAA and an AccuWeather forecaster on likely US winter conditions. Each forecast is attributed to the agency or person who made it, and nothing in the piece misleads the reader about the science or the event.
“Meteorologists at the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) said there was a greater than 79 percent chance”
Newsweek gives the probability as a probability and names the agency behind it, so the reader knows the forecast is uncertain and who made it.
“El Niño is a naturally recurring climate pattern associated with warmer waters in the Pacific that can influence temperatures and rainfall worldwide”
The article describes El Niño accurately as a recurring natural pattern without suggesting that it explains away long-term warming.
“Forecasters say this episode has already smashed benchmarks and could help make 2027 the hottest on record”
Newsweek attributes the record-heat outlook to forecasters and keeps its conditional wording, so the reader gets the warning without overstatement.
