A Rare Coincidence of La Niña Events Will Weaken Hurricane Season

Quick Summary:

The oceans have produced a rare coincidence of the Pacific and Atlantic Niñas, which will lessen the severity of the hurricane season—though 2024 still remains a highly active year.

At the same time, waters along the equator in the eastern Pacific were also cooling, with La Niña conditions expected there by October or November.

While much weaker than their Pacific counterpart, Atlantic Niñas can, however, partially counteract La Niñas by weakening summer winds that help drive the upwelling that cools the eastern Pacific.
