Climate and disaster risk for any place or trip: forecasts, warnings, floods, quakes, countries, map

Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted, read-only MCP server that gives an assistant climate and disaster risk data for any place on Earth, from this week's forecast to long-term exposure.

What you can do
  • Assess places and trips: combined risk for up to ten places on given dates, this week's forecast risk, hazards and official warnings nearby, and past events at a place
  • Screen long-term climate exposure: 57 layers for one site or up to 200 sites as a table, a city's future climate twin, and indicative flood and cyclone damage to an asset
  • Monitor hazards: events and warnings in force across a country, region or the world, and rankings of the places or countries most at risk in the days ahead
  • Compare countries: risk profiles, side-by-side comparisons, rankings by hazard or dimension, and El Niño/La Niña outlooks
  • Resolve place names, search and fetch Criora documents with citation links, and…
When to use it
Useful when questions involve travel safety, property or site due diligence, relocation, ESG or insurance screening, or live disaster and weather-warning monitoring for a place, region or country.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; nothing to install locally. No account, API key or environment variables are needed. Network access to the hosted server is required, and clients must support remote MCP servers.
Before you install
Read-only and free, but it publishes data, not advice. Place names and coordinates passed to tools are sent to the hosted service, which logs requests for up to 30 days, and place names are looked up via OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Financial impact figures are indicative screening estimates, not valuations. Redistributed data must credit Criora and follow each source's licence.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Criora climate risk in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.criora%2Fcriora/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Criora — climate and disaster risk MCP server

[Criora MCP connector] [M8ven Verified]

Criora is a hosted, remote Model Context Protocol server that answers climate and disaster risk questions for any place, trip or portfolio on Earth: weather risk for the days ahead (the 7-day forecast, the ECMWF ensemble to day 15, then the month's normal), official warnings and disasters near a place or across a country, a region or the world, what has hit a place in past decades, long-term climate exposure, indicative flood and cyclone damage to an asset, and country risk. In assistants that display MCP Apps, such as Claude, it can also show an interactive map of the place right in the conversation.

  • Endpoint: https://criora.com/mcp
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Authentication: none, no account or API key
  • Access: read-only, free
  • Registry name: com.criora/criora in the official MCP registry

This repository holds the documentation and registry metadata for the hosted server. The server itself runs at criora.com; there is nothing to install.

Use cases

  • Travel safety: "is it safe to travel to Tokyo on the 25th?": heat, storms and heavy rain on each stop's own dates, up to ten places in one call, and disasters happening nearby.
  • Property, real estate and site due diligence: flood risk (river and coastal flood depth by scenario), sea level rise, extreme heat, drought, water stress, wildfire and subsidence at an address or coordinates, with warming to 2050 and 2080; up to 200 sites at once as a table, and indicative flood and cyclone wind damage to an asset in money (ESRS E1, IFRS S2, TCFD, EU Taxonomy screening).
  • Relocation: compare the long-term climate exposure of several cities side by side, see what has hit a place before, and which city's climate today a city will have in the 2050s.
  • ESG, insurance and investment research: country climate and disaster risk for 194 countries (INFORM Risk Index, ND-GAIN, World Bank), rankings within a region or income group, 123 indicators against regional and world benchmarks, rankings on any one hazard or indicator, and what El Niño and La Niña have brought a country.
  • Disaster monitoring and warnings: official weather warnings (US National Weather Service, MeteoAlarm across Europe), earthquakes, hurricanes and typhoons with their forecast cone, wildfires, floods, volcanoes, tsunami bulletins, volcano alert levels, ash clouds and air quality, near a place or across a country, a region or the world; and where the days ahead are most dangerous.

Data catalog

The server reads 57 long-term climate layers (heat, rain, drought, wind, water stress, flood depth, sea level rise, NDVI, land cover, terrain and more), the 7-day forecast, hazard events and official warnings from the US NWS, MeteoAlarm and other national services (via WMO WIS2), Japan's JMA, Korea's KMA and the Philippines' PAGASA, NOAA's tsunami centres, the NHC and JTWC, USGS and EMSC, GDACS, NASA FIRMS, the VAACs and AirNow, past events for a place's history, and 123 country indicators. The full list with units, resolution, period and source is in docs/data-catalog.md.

Tools

Place tools take latitude and longitude, or a place name that they resolve to the best match and report back. Every tool is read-only and publishes its output schema; answers at their defaults stay under about 8,000 tokens.

ToolWhat it answers
assess_placeEverything about one to ten places in one call, each on its own dates: each day's risk (the 7-day forecast, then the ECMWF ensemble's chances to day 15, then the month's 1991-2020 normal), hazards nearby, the headline long-term exposures, a home's damage band and the country's risk. The best first call for an open question or a trip.
get_forecastThis week's weather and weather risk, by local day or step by step. Each day carries a risk class with the hazard behind it (heat and cold on the UTCI felt temperature, wind, rain, snow, freezing rain).
get_hazards_nearWhat is happening now near a place: official warnings, earthquakes, tsunami bulletins, tropical cyclones with cone and track, wildfires, floods, eruptions and volcano alert levels, ash clouds, droughts and air quality. Each event carries Criora Severity (severity_rank, 0 to 100) beside the issuer's own level; says whether the place lies inside a warning's area.
list_hazardsEvery hazard and warning in force across a country or territory, a region (bbox) or the whole world, most severe first: "which red warnings are in force in Europe", "the strongest earthquakes this week". The world's answer carries the Earth's pulse.
get_place_historyWhat has hit a place before: earthquakes, tropical cyclones, tsunamis, floods and eruptions near it, by decade and the largest, with date, distance, deaths and damage, and from when each count is complete.
rank_by_forecastThe cities (100,000 people or more) or the countries where the next 1 to 7 days' weather is most dangerous, by how high the risk reaches and how many people it reaches.
get_area_riskThe days ahead over a whole country or region: the worst class, the share of the area at each class, the worst point and the cities most at risk; with categories or layers, the long-term climate layers over the area too.
get_climate_profileLong-term exposure from 57 layers: river and coastal flood depth, sea level rise, heat, drought, water stress, wind, wildfire, earthquake hazard, NDVI and other satellite layers, terrain, land cover, with warming and rainfall change projected to 2050 and 2080. Narrow it with categories or layers (ids in criora://layers).
get_climate_tableThe same layers at up to 200 places in one call, as a table: a row per place, a column per layer and band, each row with a home's damage band. For a portfolio of sites or a grid of points.
get_climate_twinThe large city whose climate today is most like a city's climate in 2041-2060, under SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5: "what will Belgrade feel like in 2050".
estimate_financial_impactIndicative damage to a building or asset from river and coastal flooding and tropical cyclone wind: expected annual damage and the 50 to 500-year events, low, central and high, today or in 2050 and 2080. For ESRS E1, IFRS S2, TCFD or EU Taxonomy screening, not a valuation.
get_country_profileA country's overall risk score and its climate, nature, social, governance and adaptation scores; with response_format=detailed, the INFORM, ND-GAIN and World Bank indicators behind them against world and regional benchmarks.
compare_countriesTwo to ten countries side by side on overall risk and each dimension, with their ranks.
rank_countriesThe countries most or least at risk, overall, on one dimension or on one hazard or indicator (river flooding, cyclone exposure...), optionally within a region, subregion or income group.
get_enso_outlookEl Niño and La Niña now and ahead (NOAA CPC's alert and chances for the nine seasons ahead) and, for a country, what each phase has brought it in each season since 1950.
find_placeCoordinates for a place name, when a name is ambiguous.
searchFind countries, places, Criora reference pages and the data catalogue; returns ids for fetch. Built to the shape ChatGPT deep research and company knowledge expect.
fetchA readable document for a search id (country:BGD, place:<lat>,<lon>, page:methodology, catalog:layers), with a link to the Criora page it comes from.
show_risk_mapAn interactive map in the conversation: a place, several places, one event (its area, a storm's cone and track) or the whole world, with this week's forecast risk or the rain, temperature or wind hour by hour, under the hazards and official warning areas. Clients without apps get the same summary as text.

Data tools answer concisely by default; response_format=detailed gives every field. Calls written for 1.x are still answered.

Interactive map

show_risk_map is an MCP App: in clients that display apps (Claude on the web, desktop and mobile, and other MCP Apps hosts) it draws a map under the answer, on Criora's own Natural Earth ground:

  • this week's worst forecast risk with its hazard symbols, or one forecast hour of it;
  • the precipitation, temperature or wind forecast instead (layer), with animated wind streams and a key;
  • hazard events nearby as markers the reader can tap for the event's details;
  • official warning areas and hurricane cones and tracks, drawn as the Criora site draws them;
  • a timeline of the week under the field switch: the risk hour by hour with each day's main hazard, or the temperature, wind or rain at the place, with the reading for the hour shown.

The reader can pan, zoom, open the map full screen, tap or scrub the timeline, play the week hour by hour and switch between the four fields; the map tells the assistant what the reader is looking at. The card follows the host's own theme and type, light or dark. Clients that do not display apps get the same answer as text, with a link to the place on Criora's own map.

Data sources

Every answer names its source. Main sources: forecast from Environment and Climate Change Canada, ECMWF's ensemble to day 15 and ERA5 normals after that; place names from OpenStreetMap Nominatim (ODbL); hazards and warnings from the US National Weather Service, MeteoAlarm and other national services (via WMO WIS2), JMA, KMA, PAGASA, the NOAA tsunami warning centres, the National Hurricane Center, JTWC, USGS, EMSC, GDACS, NASA FIRMS, the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centres, AirNow and CAMS; El Niño from NOAA CPC; past floods in Europe since 1870 from HANZE; climate layers from ERA5, CMIP6 and IPCC AR6 among others; country indicators from the INFORM Risk Index, ND-GAIN and the World Bank. See Data Sources for the full list and licences.

Limits

  • Place-name lookups go through OpenStreetMap Nominatim, which allows one request per second for all of Criora together, so pass coordinates where you have them.
  • Forecasts change when a new model run is published, twice a day.

JSON API

The same data is available as a plain JSON API under https://criora.com/api/v1. See Data API and AI agents.

What is sent

The plugin runs nothing on your machine: it adds the hosted server and a skill that tells Claude when to use it. When Claude calls a Criora tool, the tool's arguments (a place name or coordinates, a country, a search phrase) go to https://criora.com/mcp over HTTPS, with the usual request data (IP address, client name and user agent). Criora logs these requests to run and secure the service and keeps the logs for up to 30 days. Place names are looked up with OpenStreetMap Nominatim; nothing else is passed on. No account, API key or other personal data is asked for.

Terms

Criora publishes data, not advice. Use of the service is governed by the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. When you publish or redistribute data from Criora, credit Criora and follow the licence of the source each answer names.

The MIT licence in this repository covers the files in this repository (documentation and metadata) only.

Changelog

  • 2.2.1 (2026-11-07): a concise assess_place keeps a hazard that was not read as null in a month's days_at_least and an outlook day's chance_at_least, apart from one no day reached: over Antarctica, where ERA5-HEAT has no cells, heat, cold and the day's risk had been left out and read as never reached.
  • 2.2.0 (2026-11-05): a get_climate_table row gives its damage band alone (low, moderate, high), the table saying once what the bands mean, so 130 sites' flood layers fit one answer; get_place_history gives Europe's floods since 1870 from HANZE with their dead.
  • 2.1.0 (2026-11-05): a detailed get_climate_profile gives all 57 layers in one answer, each source credited once; every layer a profile returns is accepted by layers (incl. cyclone_wind_return_periods/historical); get_climate_table takes up to 200 places (was 50) and says which were left out if the answer is full; the profile sends lists of sites to the table; leaner answer schemas (tools/list 189 KB -> 106 KB); assess_place says per place which days past the forecast come from the ensemble or the normal. Answer schemas change compatibly only.
  • 2.0.0 (2026-11-02): 19 tools plus 3 app-only ones. New: get_place_history (what has hit a place, by decade), get_climate_table (the long-term layers at up to 50 places as a table, for a portfolio), get_climate_twin (the city whose climate today a city will have in the 2050s), estimate_financial_impact (indicative flood and cyclone wind damage to an asset, low to high), rank_by_forecast (the cities or countries the days ahead put most at risk), get_area_risk (the days ahead and the climate layers over a country or region) and get_enso_outlook (El Niño and La Niña and what they bring a country). assess_place takes up to ten places, each on its own dates, past the forecast with the ECMWF ensemble to day 15 and then the month's normal. Every event carries Criora Severity (0 to 100) beside the issuer's level; more warning services (JMA, KMA, PAGASA), volcano alert levels and ash clouds; rank_countries ranks on any hazard or indicator; the earthquake hazard layer (56 layers). Answers are concise by default (response_format=detailed for every field), and calls written for 1.x are still answered. The map shows several places, one event or the whole world.
  • 1.5.0 (2026-10-21): list_hazards, every hazard and warning in force in a country or territory, a region or the world. Official warnings from the US National Weather Service and, through WMO WIS2, MeteoAlarm's national services across Europe; NOAA tsunami bulletins; NHC storms with their cone and track; every USGS earthquake with its depth and felt reports. get_hazards_near says whether the place lies inside a warning's area, and a warning's own words come apart from its facts as issuer_text. The chat map draws warning areas and storm cones on its own Natural Earth ground. 12 tools plus 3 app-only ones (get_map_events, get_map_warnings, get_map_event).
  • 1.4.1 (2026-10-18, Claude Code plugin only; the server stays 1.4.0): the plugin manifest names its icon (./icon.png), and this README says what is sent.
  • 1.4.0 (2026-10-16): the tools say what data they hold: get_climate_profile takes layers by id (55 layers, e.g. ndvi/annual) and its categories argument lists each category's layers; resources criora://layers and criora://indicators; search/fetch find the data catalogue (catalog:layers, catalog:indicators); descriptions and titles rewritten to the directories' rules; prompts site_due_diligence and esg_country_screen.
  • 1.3.1 (2026-10-15): the map card redesigned to the hosts' own look, in the card and full screen, with the week's timeline under the field switch; clearer hazard icons; Very low in the risk key; a lighter risk wash so the land shows; the forecast read is retried after a failure; the map keeps drawing when a host reports the card off screen; the server description names the map.
  • 1.3.0 (2026-10-15): show_risk_map, an interactive map of a place in the chat (risk, rain, temperature, wind).

show_risk_map

Interactive climate risk and weather map

Shows an interactive map in clients that render apps (Claude, ChatGPT): this week's forecast risk, hazard events and official warnings for a place, several places side by side, one event (its area, a storm's cone and track) or the whole world; layer opens it on rain, temperature or wind instead. A client without apps gets a text summary and a link. Use it when the user wants to see a place, a storm or the world on a map.

Parametersfocuslayerplacesevent_idlanguagelatitudelongitudeplace_name

get_map_events

Hazard events in the map's view

The hazard events the interactive map loads when the reader pans or zooms to a new view. The map calls it in clients that display it; to list the hazards near a place, use get_hazards_near.

Parameterslatituderequiredlongituderequiredradius_kmrequired

get_map_warnings

Official warnings in the map's view

The official warnings the interactive map draws over a view: each hazard's edge at each class and its symbols, at the view's zoom. The map calls it in clients that display it; to list the warnings near a place, use get_hazards_near.

Parameterseastrequiredwestrequiredzoomrequirednorthrequiredsouthrequired

get_map_event

One hazard event for the map

One hazard event the interactive map opens when the reader taps a warning's area or a storm's cone: the event, or none when it is no longer listed. The map calls it in clients that display it; to list the hazards near a place, use get_hazards_near.

Parametersidrequired

find_place

Find a place

Candidate places for a name, best match first, each with coordinates, full name and kind (city, island, volcano...). Call it only when a name is ambiguous (several Springfields) or one place is used in several calls: every place tool takes a name itself and uses its best match. GeoNames gazetteer in every language; no street addresses.

Parameterslimitqueryrequiredlanguage

get_forecast

7-day weather forecast and extreme-weather risk

This week's weather and extreme-weather risk at a place, day by day: temperature, rain, wind and each day's risk class (Very low, Low, Medium, High, Critical) with the hazard behind it and why. Heat and cold are graded on UTCI, the felt temperature outdoors. Use for the next 7 days: "will it storm in Lisbon on Friday", "is it too hot to hike this week". Days 8 and later: assess_place with dates. Disasters already happening: get_hazards_near. Long-term exposure: get_climate_profile.

Parameterslanguagelatitudelongitudeplace_nameresponse_format

get_climate_profile

Long-term climate risk of one place: floods, heat, drought, sea level

Long-term climate risk of one place or property in depth, from 57 global layers: river and coastal flood depth of a 100-year flood now, 2050 and 2080; sea level rise; extreme heat and cold days; heavy rain; drought; water stress; wildfire; warming and rainfall change to 2050 and 2080 with the models' range; NDVI vegetation; earthquake hazard, subsidence, elevation, land cover and the climate zone. Narrow it with categories or layer ids (fetch catalog:layers). Use for buying, renting or building a home or moving somewhere: "does this area flood", "how hot will it get here by 2050". Two or more places, a list of sites or a portfolio: get_climate_table, up to 200 in one call. Not for this week's weather (get_forecast) or events now (get_hazards_near).

Parameterslayerslanguagelatitudelongitudecategoriesplace_nameresponse_format

get_climate_table

Climate risk of many sites at once (portfolio table)

A list of sites, a portfolio, addresses or spreadsheet rows screened in one call: the long-term layers of get_climate_profile at up to 200 places, as a table, a row per place and a column per layer and band. By default the headline exposures: river and coastal flood depth, sea level rise, heat, heavy rain, water stress, drought, wildfire, earthquake hazard and the climate zone; narrow it with categories (flooding...) or layer ids. Each row carries a home's damage band there. Use it whenever two or more places are asked about, rather than a profile per place: rank sites on the bands and columns, or compare places on the same layers. One place in depth: get_climate_profile.

Parameterslayersplacesrequiredlanguagecategories

get_climate_twin

Climate twin: the city whose climate today a place will have in 2050

The large city whose climate today is most like a city's climate in 2041-2060, its climate twin: "what will Belgrade feel like in 2050". Under SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5, with how alike the climates are and how much warmer and wetter or drier the city gets. For large cities; seasonal means, not extremes. Long-term exposure of a place: get_climate_profile.

Parameterslanguagelatitudelongitudeplace_name

get_place_history

What has happened at a place in the past

What has hit a place before: "has Lisbon had a big earthquake", "how often do typhoons reach Manila", "what floods has Valencia had". Earthquakes, tropical cyclones, tsunamis, floods and eruptions near it: how many by decade and the largest, with date, distance, deaths and damage. A count is complete only from `complete_from` (quakes of M5 and up 1976, cyclones 1980, floods 2021, and its `note` says so: a rise in floods before then is no trend). Ask for more years to reach the great events: the record goes back to 1700 for those that cost lives, and to 1870 for Europe's floods. What is happening now: get_hazards_near.

Parametersyearshazardslanguagelatitudelongitudeplace_name

get_hazards_near

Natural disasters happening near a place

Disasters, hazards and official warnings happening now or recently near a place: wildfires, earthquakes, tsunamis, tropical cyclones with cone and track, floods, eruptions and volcano alert levels, ash clouds, droughts, official weather warnings and air quality. Each has Criora Severity (severity_rank, 0 to 100) beside the issuer's own level, its distance, and for a warning whether the place is inside it. Use for "what is happening in or near X", "what happened in Valencia", "is it safe to go there now". Narrow with radius_km, event_types, min_severity or days (up to 30). Forecast: get_forecast; long-term risk: get_climate_profile.

estimate_financial_impact

Indicative flood and cyclone damage to a building or asset

Indicative damage to a building or asset at a place from river and coastal flooding and tropical cyclone wind: expected annual damage as a share of its value and in money, and the 50 to 500-year events, low, central and high; today, or RCP4.5 or RCP8.5 in 2050 and 2080 (wind to 2050). Use for what flooding could cost a home, a property or loan collateral, and ESRS E1, IFRS S2, TCFD or EU Taxonomy screening. Give asset_value for money in its currency, which any one building needs; without it the money is for all buildings of its class in the point's 1 km cell, in euros, never one building's. A town or city asked by name resolves to one point of it: `built_ground` then says how its built ground shares out among the bands, which is the answer for the place; the money and band are the point's. Indicative, not a valuation: pass the caveats on.

assess_place

Climate and disaster risk of places, on given days

Everything about one to ten places in one call: each day's risk on the dates asked (the 7-day forecast, then ECMWF ensemble chances as far as its run reaches, about two weeks, then the month's normal), hazards happening nearby, the headline long-term exposures, a home's damage band and the country's risk. headline is the line that matters most. Use it first for open questions: a trip ("I'm flying to Tokyo on the 25th": one call with every stop and its dates), moving or buying a home ("is it safe to live in..."), "what are the risks in...". For one specific question the matching tool answers in full.

Natural disasters and warnings in a country, a region or the world

Disasters, hazards and official warnings across a country, a region (bbox) or the whole world, most severe first by Criora Severity (severity_rank) beside the issuer's own level: wildfires, earthquakes, tsunamis, tropical cyclones, floods, eruptions, volcano alert levels, ash clouds, droughts, weather warnings and air quality. Use for "what is happening in Japan", "which red warnings are in force in Europe", "the strongest earthquakes this week" (days 7), what happened in a country over recent days (days, up to 30). Near one place: get_hazards_near. A country holds an event by its point. For the whole world the answer opens with the Earth's pulse (earth_pulse), one figure for "how dangerous is the world today".

Where the weather ahead is most dangerous: cities and countries

The cities (of 100,000 or more) or the countries where the next 1 to 7 days' weather is most dangerous, ranked by how high the risk reaches and how many people it reaches: heat, cold, wind, heavy rain, snow and freezing rain. Use for "where will it be hottest this week", "which European cities face storms in the next two days", "which countries have the most people at high risk". One place: get_forecast; disasters now: list_hazards; countries' long-term risk: rank_countries.

get_area_risk

The weather ahead and the long-term climate over a country or a region

The next 1 to 7 days' weather danger over a whole country or region, day by day: the worst class reached, its hazard, the share of the area at each class, the worst point and the cities most at risk; with categories or layers, also long-term climate layers over the area (mean, 10th and 90th percentile, share at or above a value). Use for "how bad is the weather in Japan this week", "how much of Spain faces high heat tomorrow", "how much of Bangladesh floods in a 100-year flood". One place: get_forecast or get_climate_profile.

get_country_profile

Country climate and disaster risk profile

One country's climate and disaster risk, of 194: overall score 0 to 100 (higher is riskier), class and world rank, and its climate, nature, social, governance and adaptation scores. response_format=detailed adds the INFORM, ND-GAIN and World Bank indicators behind them. Use for one country in depth, ESG or investment screening, "how risky is Paraguay". Named countries side by side: compare_countries; the most or least at risk: rank_countries.

Parameterscountryrequiredresponse_formatindicators_limit

compare_countries

Compare countries' climate and disaster risk

Two to ten named countries side by side: overall risk score, class and world rank, and their climate, nature, social, governance and adaptation scores (0 to 100, higher is riskier; rank 1 is the riskiest of 194). To find the riskiest countries use rank_countries.

Parameterscountriesrequiredresponse_format

rank_countries

Rank countries by climate and disaster risk

The countries most or least at climate and disaster risk, overall, on one dimension or on one hazard or other indicator, optionally within a region, subregion or income group, each with its score and world rank (a filter narrows the list, not the rank). Use for "the most climate-exposed countries", "the riskiest countries in Southern Asia", "which countries are most exposed to river flooding", "where do cyclones reach the most people". Named countries: compare_countries; this week's weather: rank_by_forecast.

El Niño and La Niña: NOAA's outlook and what they bring a country

El Niño and La Niña now and ahead: NOAA CPC's alert status and its chances of each phase for the nine seasons ahead. With a country, what each phase has brought it in each season since 1950 (its wetter or drier, warmer or colder third): tendencies of the past, not a forecast. Use for "is El Niño coming", "will El Niño make Indonesia dry this winter".
