Weather patterns across the U.S. and the world from October through December resembled patterns from previous La Niña events. La Niña is considered to be the cool phase of the El Niño-Southern ...
Along the West Coast, and in Southern California in particular, La Niña is often associated with cooler, drier conditions. La Niña was last in place during the state's three driest years on ...
La Niña was last in place from 2020 to 2023 — a period of time that included California's driest three years on record. The arid stretch shrank reservoirs to record lows, triggered Southern ...

La Niña refers to the reduction in the temperature of the ocean surface across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, accompanied by notable changes in the ...
An especially strong Walker circulation causes La Niña, which is considered to be the cold oceanic and positive atmospheric phase of the broader El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) weather phenomenon, as well as the opposite of El Niño weather pattern, [19] where sea surface temperature across the eastern equatorial part of the central ...
A weak La Niña is favored to develop. NOAA says there is a 59% chance the criteria for La Niña conditions will be met by the end of January 2025.
Across Alaska, El Niño events do not have a correlation towards dry or wet conditions; however, La Niña events lead to drier than normal conditions.During El Niño events, increased precipitation is expected in Southern California, Arizona, and New Mexico due to a more southerly, zonal, storm track over the Southwest, leading to increased winter snowpack, but a more subdued summer monsoon ...
