NOAA Predicts Below Normal Hurricane Season Amid Building El Niño The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released its latest forecast for the upcoming hurricane season, predicting below normal activity in the Atlantic Basin.
This prediction comes on the heels of a developing El Niño event, which is expected to have a significant impact on hurricane formation and intensity.
Understanding the Impact of El Niño on Hurricane Season El Niño events occur when there is an abnormal warming of the equatorial Pacific Ocean waters, leading to changes in atmospheric circulation patterns.
