As someone that lives in south Florida… we’ve dodged a lot of hurricanes these past couple years. I’m perfectly with dodging some more.
I don’t think you people realize how terrible it is to not have air conditioning in the summer in south Florida. It’s so hot and humid. The air is literally wet

ikeosaurus t1_jbomeg2 wrote
It doesn’t dampen the effect of El Niño, it’s the opposite phase of the El Niño/Southern oscillation climate system. Both phases can have bad and good impacts on different parts of the world. This year Utah (where I live) is having a close to record snow, that is probably due in part to La Niña. This is good for us. Interestingly El Niño can do the same thing for us here as well.

It appears several commenters are missing the point. I'm not downplaying human impact but we didn't kill La Nina with climate change; it's cyclical. La Nina ending is natural. In fact, it seemed the last La Nina hung around for longer than it typically does. Australia was expecting another La Nina season so they also get a bit of a reprieve.

redyellowblue5031 t1_jbp72ns wrote
It’s one side (the cooler side) of the natural cycle of ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation). Basically sea surface temperatures in the central/eastern tropical parts of the pacific swing back and forth from warmer to cooler than average.
This has impacts on large scale weather patterns by impacting things like the available moisture for storms, winds, etc..
Whether we are in La Niña, neutral, or El Niño doesn’t give precise weather forecasts. It just gives a signal to say certain types of events have a higher likelihood of happening.

So if El Niño, should we expect very hot couple summers ahead? If global temperature trends have already been increasing, and that increase has been stymied by La Niña (see the article's "escalator" analogy), then a warming El Niño in the midst of no-longer-mitigated-by-La-Niña global warming could mean a sudden spike in temps. No?

Weather would have to become pretty apocalyptic on a pretty frequent scale to really decimate trade.. I'm not saying we wouldn't see a slow down, or enhanced costs, but a complete collapse of global trade? That feels like a stretch.
Trade routes connecting much of the world have existed for thousands of years, during times when the means to traverse such distances was fraught with peril.
I think our technology is gonna be a pretty enormous mitigating factor too, especially as we continue to creep towards more and more automation.

Fort Myers or Sannibel? I'm in Fort Myers, just south of downtown, and we had storm surge coming down our street, but luckily no water in the house.
Ian was the worst storm I've seen in my 40 years in FL.
I'm really sorry for you loss.
IntrigueDossier t1_jbppxog wrote
The snow should definitely help, but severe drought conditions generally make flooding worse while having little effect on a region’s moisture, due to the fact that dry soil is less absorbent than already-damp soil, so it just tends to run right off like it would on a sidewalk.
FreyrPrime t1_jbpq7cw wrote
A close call is probably more accurate. I live on the gulf side and Cuba acts like an enormous shield normally. Most Hurricane's gut themselves on Cuba's mountains and fail to regain enough strength to really be a threat to my area of the gulf coast.
However, occasionally they linger in the gulf for a crazy amount of time and then slam into my neck of the woods, like Ian did.
Honestly, Ian wouldn't have been awful had it not been moving so slow. 6-8 hours of sustained category 4+ winds is what did it (if you didn't get storm surged). My house didn't start taking wind damage till well after the 4 hour mark.

I dug weirs across a horse-damaged hill that had no plant life except a few daisies. I was able to mostly stop erosion and got some grasses growing. I tried for several years to get native western red cedar established, but they never took. I finally planted a grove of Sequoias, which are now getting big. Even when most of the topsoil is gone, keeping the remaining soil damp can promote plant growth and regeneration.

jetstobrazil t1_jbpwi01 wrote
A big part of the reason weather is predictable now is because of the reliability of the jet stream and Gulf Stream, which are both weakening due to climate change. Once these are sufficiently weakened, predictability of weather patterns critical for travel through air or weather will absolutely be affected enough to all but halt these methods of travel, unless we innovate or begin delivering in subs.
It’s hard to tell how quickly all of this will happen of course and to what degree it will affect us when, but my own personal belief is that with every study seeming to underestimate the effects, it doesn’t seem far enough off to not plan for.
OuidOuigi t1_jbpwori wrote
Paper towels for my bung hole!
FreyrPrime t1_jbpxj31 wrote
Yeah, the Jet and Gulf streams are serious causes for concerns, and would absolutely play havoc with the world that we know.
I'm just of the opinion that our technology will insulate us against the worst of it. I could easily be wrong, in fact history says I likely will be.
We've experienced collapses in civilization and 'dark ages' because of climate change at least once before, the Bronze Age.
I think our current civilization is both more resilient than ancient cultures, and at the same time much more fragile. Our technology should make it considerably more difficult to experience a significant collapse, but once it starts I think we we would be much worse off than previous civilizations.
Billions would die from stuff we take for granted on a daily basis.

Yeah, the beach got extra special screwed. To the point people are genuinely unaware how bad it was for the most part. They know things were bad in a lot of Florida, but the beach was on a whole other level. I sold the ice cream from the hot dog cart on the beach walking along the water. Who knows if that will ever be a thing again. My boss was at the shop and had to knock the tiles out of the ceiling and stick his head in the rafters to no drown. He stood in water up to his chin for 6 hours. He said hes working on getting things going again. I didn't wait to hold my breath. I moved back to Michigan to become a lapidary, I cut gemstones, or as I like to say: I'm a professional stoner now.

Down vote me all you want, but you're only showing your ignorance, folks.
" Although hurricanes occur more often during La Niña episodes, significant tropical weather events have occurred during the neutral phase. For example, the record shattering 2005 hurricane season that included Katrina and Rita occurred during the neutral phase. Hurricane Andrew, the most destructive United States hurricane of record, made landfall along the Gulf coast during a neutral phase of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation in 1992."

I’d love to. My master’s degree concentration was in climate change, and I focused a good bit on that while I taught GIS labs to undergrads. I’m really terrible at finding job opportunities that fit.

Damn, you really dodged a bullet there.

That's great for flooding, but SoCal needs to figure out a practical way to retain a lot more of that water instead of dumping it into the ocean.

Soil in most of the West is saturated above average due to a wet summer and fall.

The phrasing of the headline is a smidge weird. I was like, whaddayamean, gone? Oh, it just ended for now, that's all. I don't know why "gone" hits so weird, but it does.
Didn't we expect La Niña to end about now? I'd read forecasts last year projecting this.
It sure would be truly uplifting news if we could remain neutral and El Niño decided not to show up.

Absolutely! My background before starting my doctorate was in applied math and I’d never taken a single atmospheric course before the Fall of 2018. We all have to start somewhere! PM me and I’ll see if I can figure out how to send you my slides on ENSO somehow!

I’m gonna be honest with you, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of this! However, I’ll poke around on Google a bit and see if I can find something to help answer your question. Thanks for putting me onto something new!

Actually he used it correctly. Usage dictates language, not some arbitrary rule you claim is "right". We all understood him, and you did too. Don't be a pendant.

La Niña usually means it will be dry where I live. As a farmer and rancher this is good news for me. We could use some good rain this spring.

Yeah, I'm used to dry heat, I was not a fan of the humidity here in Melbourne, probably because I'm not used to it, but I do worry about a super dry Summer and bushfires. But yeah, goodbye hot and humid, lol.

So for the past two years or so, southern US (AR) has had unbelievably cold Februarys. This year was more mild and super enjoyable.
Does that means we’re going to see a more rain-heavy summer? The last two have been pretty dry save for a few really heavy days of rain at the start.
And what part of the El Niño/La Niña cycle(s) affect the earlier months of the year? I’ve heard of both, but only usually as we go into the summer months.

Hence the new reservoir. The city basically has artificial lakes in the winter because they have reservoirs spread around. You often see helicopters collecting water from those spots during wildfires.

Same. Only gripe is all the dirt in our rain, I haven’t washed my car in months because I don’t want to just have to do it again.

I was asking where it was located. I'm curious because it's a tough situation to solve, considering the lack of space in the areas where they're needed.
There's been talk since the 80s about excavating a large part of the Sepulveda Basin, which would be perfect as far as location on the LA River and already having a dam there, but there's a golf course there, so obviously that can't be done.

Can’t seem to find anything online about its construction but my hometown is Beaumont CA. It wasn’t a big reservoir by any means but it was a good addition to the cities already pretty good flood management. We’d have the occasional mudslide but for the most part during heavy rains despite being in a valley we never had flood damage

No, but the weather history backs it. Like, I don't understand why it's so hard for people to grasp that just because La Niña ends so do strong hurricane. The 2005 hurricane season is a great example.
