La Niña forecast raises potential for a dangerous Atlantic hurricane season.
La Niña, the cooling phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle, is forecasted to arrive, raising the chances of a dangerous Atlantic hurricane season. This climate pattern's presence can lead to adverse weather conditions that fuel hurricanes, particularly for those living along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts. La Niña is recognized by a cooling of at least half a degree Celsius (0.9 Fahrenheit) below normal in the eastern Pacific Ocean's equatorial region west of South America.
