The planet-cooling climate pattern known as La Niña is here, scientists said Thursday, but it cannot prevent 2025 from being ...
La Niña has finally emerged after months of anticipation, but there’s a catch, and it could impact its influence on the ...
After months of delay, the cool La Niña climate pattern has emerged in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, which increases ...
La Niña, the periodic cooling of Pacific Ocean waters, has finally arrived, but forecasters predict it is weak and unlikely to cause as many weather problems as typically seen.
A detailed analysis found La Niña began in December 2024 with a weak La Niña favored during the rest of this winter.
El Niño and La Niña are two opposing climate conditions in the Pacific Ocean that affect the weather across the globe. Trade winds in the Pacific tend to blow from east to west, pushing warm ...
Let’s dig into what this La Niña means for the mid-season snow forecast. La Niña is one half of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle—when the east-central tropical Pacific turns cooler than ...
Forecasters closely monitor La Niña and its counterpart El Niño because they influence global weather in a way that’s largely consistent and predictable well in advance – especially when the ...
Soaring temperatures in 2024 were partly boosted by climate conditions known as El Niño (Spanish for "the boy"), according to the World Meteorological Organisation’s data analysis. In 2025, another ...
La Nina, the flip side of the better-known El Nino, is an irregular rising of unusually cold water in a key part of the central equatorial Pacific that changes weather patterns worldwide.
La Niña is considered the cool phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and is characterized by lower-than-average sea-surface temperatures, with anomalies of at least -0.5 degrees Celsius (-0 ...
