El Nino, the 2012 Hurricane Season & Water Damage
Today, June 1st, marks the beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane
Season. Experts are predicting a less active season and the arrival of
El Niño could have something to do with it.
La Niña, associated with creating Atlantic Hurricane favorable conditions, dissipated during April 2012 and has transitioned to ENSO (El Niño – Southern Oscillation) neutral condition. Experts now estimate that El Niño, the atmospheric force that suppresses storm formation, will most likely fully develop by this summer.
Typically, El Niño is associated with stronger vertical shear across the tropical Atlantic, creating conditions less conducive for storm formation. In general, warm El Niño events are characterized by more tropical storms and hurricanes in the eastern Pacific and a decrease in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.
