La Nina[]
La Nina is a weather phenomenon, and is the opposite of El Nino, La Nina is the rapid upwelling of cold water in the equator, with trade winds blowing hard and hard. La Nina can persist, A triple dip La Nina has ended and now is a El Nino year. El Nino forms when trade winds weaken or reverse, pushing warm water to the east. thus "El Nino"
La Nina may affect weather not just in the USA, but Everywhere around the world. La Niña causes the jet stream to move northward and to weaken over the eastern Pacific. During La Niña winters, the South sees warmer and drier conditions than usual. The North and Canada tend to be wetter and colder. During La Niña, waters off the Pacific coast are colder and contain more nutrients than usual.
LA NINA EFFECTS: Philippines[]
July 2021 La Nina Floods, and heavy rainfall.
La Nina may increase the like hood of above-normal rainfall, and adverse impacts such as heavy rainfall, floods, and landslides, and produce damage to crops, irrigation, and hamper production of other agricultural communities. La Nina Can also Increase the like hood of Tropical cyclones since during heavy trade winds, warm waters rush ever western, thus more tropical cyclones, the Southwest Monsoon, or locally called "Habagat" Ends, however the Philippines may transfer to the northeast monsoon, or "Amihan" and may be enhanced by La Nina that may trigger floods and rain-induced landslides. With such effects, adverse weather conditions have also derailed inflation forecasts by state economic managers. La Nina can affect everywhere HERE on the Philippines! However, The Philippine's meteorology state, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or "PAYONG PAGASA" can announce weather updates live on youtube, and can talk about the adverse impacts on "La Nina."
United States of America[]
La Niña causes the jet stream to move northward and to weaken over the eastern Pacific. During La Niña winters, the South sees warmer and drier conditions than usual. The North and Canada tend to be wetter and colder.
La Nina tends to lead drought in the southern U.S. and heavy rains and flooding in the Pacific Northwest and Canada. During a La Niña year, winter temperatures are warmer than normal in the South and cooler than normal in the North. La Niña can also lead to a more severe hurricane seaso. La Niña winter seasons tend to be snowier than average from the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies to the Great Lakes, upstate New York and northern New England. They tend to be less snowy than average in the Southwest, southern Rockies and southern High Plains. By contrast, during a La Nina event, the subtropical jet -- the jet stream that brings warm moist air from the south -- shifts to the far north, bringing an influx of warmth and moisture to these regions, and increasing the odds for tornadoes. During La Niña, waters off the Pacific coast are colder and contain more nutrients than usual. This environment supports more marine life and attracts more cold-water species, like squid and salmon, to places like the California coast.
