[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people on here not read? Like, you don’t read up on stuff to learn? You have all human knowledge at your fingertips. It’s an El Niño winter pattern. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/featured-images/how-el-ni%C3%B1o-and-la-ni%C3%B1a-affect-winter-jet-stream-and-us-climate [/quote] Except this year it's La Nina, second winter in a row. [/quote] Again, people don’t read. Not sure La Nino applies here … also the cycles are seven yearly. La Niña means we’re in the negative phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation, or ENSO for short. Per NOAA, La Niña is defined as cooler than normal sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean that impact global weather patterns. That results in a pattern supportive of warmer-than-normal and drier-than-normal conditions in this part of the US. [/quote] El Niño refers to the above-average sea-surface temperatures that periodically develop across the east-central equatorial Pacific. It represents the warm phase of the ENSO cycle. La Niña refers to the periodic cooling of sea-surface temperatures across the east-central equatorial Pacific.[/quote] Sorry put this in wrong last post Not sure La Nino applies here … also the El Niño cycles are seven yearly.
