Wave Goodbye to La Nina and Hello to El Nino!! Big Theme Today in the Tropical Meteorology World. 49 days Til Hurricane Season Begins. Famous Hurricanes in El Nino Years! Mother Nature Always Finds a Way!!

 

I like to give credit where credit is due and Jeff is indeed known as @WeatherProf on X and rightly so as he is good at explaning and teaching us what is going on in the world of weather. He brings up many good points in this post on X and if you're on X please check it out! I have a brother who is one of his biggest fans. 

Is a rare Super El Nino forming? This is a huge question people are debating today. Many believe it is forming and others are waiting to see and are skeptical. Either way La Nina is gone, gone, gone...

So say goodbye to La Nina!

Hello El Nino??

Going back to the video...

...he did a great job explaining this..

2 cyclones working in tandem...

...to funnel the flow East.

So many signs for El Nino....

...but few answers.

Clues... time will tell.

Another point I want to make...

Carib tends to shut down due to shear...

El Nino shear blows the tops off the Tropical Waves.

They fall apart vs forming into Hurricanes.

But not all regions are shut down...

Areas off the East Coast can be more favorable.

Old fronts and transitioning Upper Level Lows.

Mother Nature always finds a way.

Note the extreme heat this week in Carolinas.

This way too early heat warms the water up.

Raleigh flirts with the 90s.

Wilmington NC flirts with 80.

Two months too soon!

Florida hot!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Warms up the water around FL...

Time will tell what happens...

...over the next 49 days.

But Hurricane Season is scheduled for arrival.

With or without El Nino.

Andrew was in an El Nino year.

For example.

Here's a list from Google AI...

...of memorable hurricanes in El Nino years!

Andrew 1992

Michael 2018
Alicia 1983
Betsy 1965
1935 Labor Day Storm
Idalia 2023

I will point out the point I want to make and yes I was redundent on purpose. 

Andrew, Betsy and the 1935 Labor Day Storm all approached from the East of Florida, and all 3 went into the Gulf and Andrew and Betsy continued on towards Mississippi and Louisiana!

Andrew and up over the Islands hurricane.

Hurricane Betsy 1965 up and over the Islands.

Labor Day 1935 Hurricane stayed N of the Islands

El Nino is not a promise of a quiet hurricane season!

Will discuss this in depth later this week.

Thanks for reading!

Remember stay prepared every year.

When Climo kicks in ....

...something somewhere forms.

But you can say "goodbye to La Nina!"

Sweet Tropical Dreams,

BobbiStorm

Ps I'll say I hate this song.....

...with a passion.

But it came to mind while writing....

...so going with it.

Let's say goodbye to La Nina!

Many weather people love La Nina.

Oh well....
