This is some good news as I really don't feel like dodging hurricanes this year...but I think it's way too early for anyone to let their guard down...season is just a few weeks away. Yee haw! :laugh:
La Nina is dead, which is good news for hurricane season
It’s all over! NOAA declared La Niña officially over, and this is good news for the upcoming hurricane season.
La Niña is the phase of cooler water in the Pacific Ocean. It is responsible for weather connections around the globe, one of which can enhance Atlantic hurricane activity like the record 30 storms we had in 2020.
La Niña continued to weaken in April and early May, and NOAA says neutral conditions are likely to persist through summer.
This news isn’t a total storm squasher, but conditions over the Atlantic will see a bit more shear or unfavorable winds in areas where hurricanes develop which should prevent another record number of hurricanes..................
