NINA WEATHER 71% LIKELY TO DEVELOP IN SEPT-NOV, SAYS US FORECASTER
There is a 71% chance of La Nina weather conditions developing during the September to November period, a U.S. government forecaster said on Thursday.
The weather conditions are expected to persist through the January-March period next year, the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) said in its monthly forecast.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
La Nina, a climate pattern that begins with colder-than-normal ocean temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, is linked to both floods and drought, as well as an increase in the frequency of hurricanes in the Caribbean.
