The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center reports a 60 percent chance that a weak La Niña event will develop this autumn and could last until March.
La Niña is part of a natural climate cycle that can cause extreme weather across the planet – and its effects vary from place to place.
Although there is no guarantee how this La Niña will play out, there are some general trends. Experts say northern parts of South America could see more rain than usual. Southern regions of the U.S. and parts of Mexico could be drier than average. The northern tier of the U.S. and southern Canada could be wetter than average.
As La Niña can impact weather patterns globally, regions around the world may experience varied weather conditions during this period. It is important for communities worldwide to stay informed and prepared for potential changes in weather patterns.
