There have been a number of unexpected natural phenomena in recent months, wreaking serious havoc in various parts of the US. However, after these rather rough three years, hurricane activity could be subsiding.

This was happening in the Atlantic, while there is a drought in the west, according to Telemundo. We are now considered to be in a «neutral» condition at this time, and we could see El Niño arriving in late summer or fall.

How do El Niño and La Niña affect us?

La Niña is a cooling of the Pacific which affects weather around the world. La Niña causes Atlantic storms in the US and is associated with hurricanes.

In the west it causes significant droughts, forest fires and winter storms. La Niña is more aggressive than El Niño, according to Telemundo, since studies say it attacks in a more brutal way.

While La Niña causes more Atlantic storms, El Niño makes it harder for them to form. However that doesn’t mean they don’t still happen, indicated Telemundo. The United States has faced a great wave of natural disasters in recent months.

These have come in the form of electrical and winter storms and have caused more than a billion dollars of damage in the United States. La Niña causes climatic conditions in India to become wetter, while El Niño makes Australia and the Amazon drier.
