Arizona experienced its third driest winter season on record, with Phoenix receiving limited rainfall and Flagstaff seeing significantly less snow than usual. This is attributed to the influence of La Niña, a weather phenomenon characterized by cooler sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. As a result, water levels in reservoirs and rivers are lower, increasing the risk of wildfires and impacting agriculture. Looking ahead, the Climate Prediction Center forecasts continued dry and warm conditions for spring, with more than half of the state currently experiencing extreme drought. Experts warn that conditions are not likely to improve significantly in the near future.
