A changing pattern in the Pacific Ocean could cut the number of Atlantic hurricanes in 2023.
It may be difficult to appreciate, but weather and ocean patterns that are on the other side of the world from each other can be closely related. In the case of the Pacific Ocean El Niño and La Niña status, the number of hurricanes that threaten the US and even the Gulf Coast can see a big impact. First, what exactly is an El Niño or a La Niña? Both are related to a larger pattern, a sort of see-saw known as ENSO or El Niño/Southern Oscillation.
So, given the growing El Niño taking place right now, the total number of storms may be reduced this season. Alicia was the first storm that year and didn’t form until nearly three months into that year’s hurricane season. Despite that fact, Alicia became a category three hurricane and lashed the Houston-Galveston area with 120 mph winds. As the El Niño forecast is to approach later this year, this short video shows what exactly occurs during this weather pattern.
