Our region is experiencing its first El Niño in five years, and, bolstered by climate change,  we have an unusually warm winter to prove it.

Today, Tom Di Liberto, climate scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, joins The Common to discuss how El Niño impacts weather patterns in the region, and what other factors are contributing to our unseasonably warm winter.
