"One of the big contributors to the record-breaking global temperatures over
the past year – El Niño – is nearly gone, and its opposite, La Niña, is on the
way.

Whether that’s a relief or not depends in part on where you live. Above-normal
temperatures are still forecast across the U.S. in summer 2024. And if you live
along the U.S. Atlantic or Gulf coasts, La Niña can contribute to the worst
possible combination of climate conditions for fueling hurricanes.

Pedro DiNezio, an atmosphere and ocean scientist at the University of Colorado
who studies El Niño and La Niña, explains why and what’s ahead."
