How will the third straight year of La Niña affect the winter weather in the US?
William Gittins - Yesterday 9:06 AM
For the third year in a row meteorologists are warning that La Niña, a Pacific Ocean weather system, will bring strong winds across the world. This is the first time this century that La Niña has been recorded in three consecutive years, a major cause for concern amongst meteorologists.
Forecasters are warning of cold patches on the surface of the Pacific Ocean which could prompt unusual weather trends in the US and further afield.

“It is exceptional to have three consecutive years with a la Niña event,” said World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Secretary-General Petteri Taalas in a statement.
“Its cooling influence is temporarily slowing the rise in global temperatures – but it will not halt or reverse the long-term warming trend,” he added.
