The 2020–2023 La Niña event was a rare three-year, triple-dip La Niña. [1] The impact of the event led to numerous natural disasters that were either sparked or fueled by La Niña. La Niña refers to the reduction in the temperature of the ocean surface across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, accompanied by notable changes in the ...
It turned out hurricane season didn’t need La Niña in order to deliver devastating impacts anyway. The delay likely ties back to global ocean temperatures, which have been far above average for ...
Hurricane season: La Niña can contribute to a more active Atlantic hurricane season. This means Texas might face a higher risk of hurricanes and tropical storms making landfall, bringing heavy ...
La Niña happens when Pacific waters cool, moving the tropical thunderstorms so that the wind shear in the Atlantic wanes during hurricane season.
A schematic diagram of the quasi-equilibrium and La Niña phase of the southern oscillation. The Walker circulation is seen at the surface as easterly trade winds which move water and air warmed by the sun towards the west. The western side of the equatorial Pacific is characterized by warm, wet low pressure weather as the collected moisture is ...
La Niña is known to enhance hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin, according to NOAA. Much of the impact is due to La Niña’s effects on wind shear and atmospheric conditions over the Atlantic.
A pokey La Niña doesn’t mean the rest of hurricane season, which runs through Nov. 30, will be sluggish. Thursday’s ENSO forecast came out the same day as NOAA’s updated hurricane ...
La Niña often creates weather patterns that increase hurricane activity in the Atlantic Basin, which if it forms could still affect the tail end of this year's season. It also affects winter ...
