Hurricane season 2024 forecast looks grim as La Niña chances grow

Hurricane season 2024 forecast looks grim as La Niña chances grow | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
El Niño is fading and could give way to a La Niña, which could be bad news for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season given the warm ocean temperatures.
Isabella Jackson's insight:
This isn't necessarily a disaster but it showcases the possibility of a disaster or disasters happening. The article states that the chances of El Niño changing to La Niña are increasing due to the surface sea level temperatures are decreasing near the equator. La Niña is expected to arrive during the heart of hurricane season and that would cause very extreme hurricanes for the Eastern United States.

This article is very relevant, and I believe helps people become better educated on the storm fronts that happen annually, instead of mistaking the events or not being prepared for such events caused by El Niño.

This article is really cool, it goes into some detail about how ENSO works and how hurricanes connect to the phenomenon.

La Niña is here, which could mean a cold and stormier winter than normal across the North, while the southern tier stays drier, with warmer than average temperatures.
