A new La Niña has arrived, according to forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center. Sea-surface temperatures near the West Coast of South America and along the equatorial regions are now cooler than normal as La Niña conditions were indicated beginning last month. Based on the current predictions, this new La Niña is expected to persist at least through February 2026.
As ocean waters cool in the south-central Pacific Ocean, this may have an impact on the end of the Atlantic and Caribbean tropical storm and hurricane season. The season officially ends Nov. 30, and it has already passed the peak of the season, which was around Sept. 10. However, activity may start to increase once again later this month and into early November.
