El Niño is fading and could give way to a La Niña, which could be bad news for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season given the warm ocean temperatures.
Isabella Jackson's insight:
This isn't necessarily a disaster but it showcases the possibility of a disaster or disasters happening. The article states that the chances of El Niño changing to La Niña are increasing due to the surface sea level temperatures are decreasing near the equator. La Niña is expected to arrive during the heart of hurricane season and that would cause very extreme hurricanes for the Eastern United States.

This article is very relevant, and I believe helps people become better educated on the storm fronts that happen annually, instead of mistaking the events or not being prepared for such events caused by El Niño.

This article is really cool, it goes into some detail about how ENSO works and how hurricanes connect to the phenomenon.

Tropical Storm Ana, the first named storm of the year, is dissipating without much impact. However, forecasters expect many more to come. Via Regina Phelps
Dillan Roseman's insight:
Tropical Storm Ana was said "dissipate without much impact" but, I wonder if they're taking into account secondary impacts that come with Natural Disasters.

An early start to the #hurricaneseason. #TropicalStorm Ana headed northeast of #Bermuda & away from posing any threat to land Sunday, destined to dissipate in the Atlantic Ocean – but is a reminder nonetheless of the approaching hurricane season.
Ana became the first named storm in the Atlantic this year a little over a week before the official June 1 start of the season, which federal government forecasters expect to produce 13 to 20 storms big enough to be given a name. If predictions of six to 10 hurricanes prove accurate, this would be the sixth consecutive season with above-average activity.
Factors such as warm surface water in the Atlantic & the Caribbean Sea, along with weak tropical trade winds and a strong West African monsoon point to another busy year for hurricanes, which typically peak in August & September. |
