La Nina To Bring Wet, Cold Winter In New York After Massive Hurricanes

Weather officials say La Nina is to blame for more hurricanes this year. Now, it's going to impact the upcoming winter in New York.

This past summer, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted La Nina would cause above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic this year.

La Nina Caused More Hurricanes

"The above-normal prediction is based on projected La Niña activity in the Pacific, which weakens wind shear and enhances atmospheric instability, leading to optimal hurricane conditions," the NOAA stated in its prediction.

The 2024 Hurricane season started in June and lasts until November.

I don't have to tell you that it's been a terrible summer and fall for Hurricanes. Communities in the southeast continue to recover from recent hurricanes, Helene and Milton.
