El Niño Credited With a Vanished Atlantic Hurricane Season
Original: How El Niño Made the Atlantic Hurricane Season Disappear
A Wall Street Journal report explains how El Niño effectively shut down the Atlantic hurricane season. The climate pattern increases wind shear over the tropical Atlantic, tearing storms apart before they can develop and keeping major hurricanes away from land. It is the latest striking example of how large-scale climate patterns can dominate a whole season, and readers are debating what it means for future forecasts.
Why now: An unusually quiet hurricane season is surprising people, and the El Niño explanation gives it a clear cause worth discussing.
