On Thursday, NOAA issued a La Niña watch, explaining that it could replace El Niño before the end of summer. This could have implications for the impending Atlantic hurricane season and beyond.
The map shows difference from average winter (November–March) precipitation during La Niña years (1954, 1955, 1964, 1970, 1973, 1975, 1988, 1999, 2007) compared to the long-term average (1971 ...

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 ...
Thursday’s ENSO forecast came out the same day as NOAA’s updated hurricane prediction, which continues to call for a highly active season with 17 to 24 named storms, including eight to 13 ...
On the other hand, however, hurricanes in the eastern and central Pacific are the reverse of those in the Atlantic due to increased sea surface temperatures; [19] therefore, the odds of a hurricane hitting Hawaii [20] or, rarely, California [21] [22] are increased during El Niño years and decreased during La Niña years.
Tropical instability waves visible on sea surface temperature maps, showing a tongue of colder water, are often present during neutral or La Niña conditions. [62] La Niña is a complex weather pattern that occurs every few years, [19] often persisting for longer than five months. El Niño and La Niña can be indicators of weather changes ...
La Niña happens when Pacific waters cool, moving the tropical thunderstorms so that the wind shear in the Atlantic wanes during hurricane season. La Niña watch: High chances the hurricane ...
