UN weather agency predicts rare ‘triple-dip’ La Nina in 2022

Yesterday 6:55 AM
 

The United Nations weather agency predicts the phenomenon known as La Nina is poised to last through the end of this year, a mysterious “triple dip” – the first this century – caused by three straight years of its effect on climate patterns such as drought and flooding worldwide.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on Wednesday said La Nina conditions, which involve a large-scale cooling of ocean surface temperatures, have strengthened in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific with an increase in trade winds in recent weeks.

A natural and cyclical cooling of parts of the equatorial Pacific, La Nina changes weather patterns worldwide and is usually associated with wetter conditions in some parts of the world, and drier conditions in others.

The better-known El Nino – an opposite phenomenon – is associated with warming in parts of the world.

Obviously, the WHO was caught with their pants down on this.  Yet they can tell us, beyond the shadow of a doubt, what the weather will be like in 20 years?

I have lived in a desert since 1980, first the Sonoran Desert and now the Mojave. 

Ninos and ninas just blow right past me so I rarely get any rain either way.  I've had 1.39" at the Castillo all year, which is normal here.  The Mojave is much hotter and drier than the Sonoran.
