Description
After three years, La Niña has officially come to an end, according to the Climate Prediction Center.
La Niña has influenced everything from recent active hurricane seasons to the recent drought developing across Florida. It's also one of the driving factors for the wet winter the West Coast has seen.
It's important to understand that these are large-scale global patterns that tend to impact the overall climate for a season. It is not responsible for our day-to-day weather.
With that being said, we are now transitioning from La Niña to a Neutral Phase. Cooler-than-normal sea temperatures in the eastern Pacific are now starting to warm. That means that we are forecast to be Neutral for spring into early summer. An eventual move to El Niño is forecast to happen this fall into next winter.
