An El Niño-less summer is coming. Here’s what that could mean
for the US
. . .
The last, protracted, la-Nina brought extreme drought
the the western US. El-Nino DID appear, strongly, late
in 2023 ... and caused heavy rain in that region.
However it appears this was a very SHORT event and la-Nina
is rapidly slipping back in place. This will affect a
lot of things, including hurricane tracks and drought
forecasts.
We can expect the US west to dry out again. The
distribution of hurricanes will return to the
previous gulf-coast/central-east-coast tracks
we saw for a number of previous years.
The rapid collapse of el-Nino is a puzzle. Normally
the two mega-systems take turns every year or two.
No longer. The long-term effects in the USA and
beyond will be "interesting".
