The Climate Prediction Center indicates a 60% chance of a weak La Nina developing this autumn, potentially lasting until March, impacting regional weather patterns.
La Nina is associated with colder ocean temperatures and changes to the jet stream, which affects precipitation and storm paths, leading to varying weather patterns globally.
Experts predict that northern South America may receive more rain than usual while southern U.S. and Mexico could experience drier conditions. Wet conditions expected in northern U.S. and southern Canada.
The recent 'triple-dip' La Nina from 2020 to 2023 was unusual, reflecting back-to-back winters of similar conditions, a phenomenon not seen since 1973 to 1976.
