These are the driving forces for the 2023 hurricane season

In the east and Horn of Africa, a harrowing drought.

La Nina’s three-year run officially ended.

Forecasters with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association say we’ll see La Niña conditions during the Atlantic hurricane season, which means an active season for storms.

Winter does impact the Sunshine State and while it may not be with ice and snow, it is with storms and drought.

In addition to those large-scale features, another large plume of Saharan dust is trekking across the Atlantic.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Thursday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officially declared that La Nina conditions are present. La Nina typically favors an active Atlantic basin during hurricane season, much like we’re seeing now. It had grown increasingly likely over the past few months that La Nina conditions would be around during the peak of hurricane season. This was one of the main factors in the much above average forecasts leading up to and during the current hurricane season. To be classified as a La Nina, sea surface temperature anomalies must greater than or equal to -0.5 degrees celsius.
