U.S. weather forecaster says 90 percent chance of El Nino in summer


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. government weather forecaster on Thursday forecast the chance of El Nino conditions developing during the Northern Hemisphere summer at 90 percent, an increase from last month's estimate of 70 percent.

    The Climate Prediction Center (CPC), an agency of the National Weather Service, in its monthly report noted there was a more than 80 percent chance that El Nino conditions will last through 2015.

    In April, the CPC estimated there was a 60 percent chance that it will last through the Northern Hemisphere autumn.
