[u/haney1981]

The Pacific side has had 3 category 5 hurricanes so they are picking up the slack.

[u/Maethor_derien → u/haney1981]

Yeah, it is just because of the major el nino, it is literally the biggest in recent record, you have to go back to like the 1800's to see one that big and we have no real storm data from back then.

It is expected to cause massive droughts over in the EU and china as well as dumping tons of water on the southwest which we really need to hopefully fill up lake mead but probably still won't be enough.

[u/CGA001 → u/Maethor_derien]

dumping tons of water on the southwest which we really need

As someone who lives in the Southwest, earlier in the year I was happy that we were forecast to get more rain this year, but a couple weeks ago we got our first storm and it was the first time I've ever experienced what I can only describe as a genuine tropical rain storm. In other words, heavy rain while it's still +90F outside.

I usually love the rain, but that was without a doubt the most unpleasant weather I've ever experienced here. That heat combined with 100% humidity is torture, I cannot fathom living in a part of the world where that's the norm and I have a newfound respect for people who can live in that.
If the rest of the year is more of that, I am no longer looking forward to the rain.

[u/Front-Ocelot-3454 → u/CGA001]

Welcome to Florida!

[u/PyroIsSpai → u/Quartersawn5]

The afternoon “life feels like death” part of the day, then stormy rain up to thunder, then everything feels amazing.

If Florida were just its evenings….

[u/nobod3 → u/CGA001]

Oh it gets worse. The network of roads and waterways were made for the drier environment, so when these systems get overloaded they’ll start failing and it will be dramatic.

The worst part is the mountains block the majority of clouds so unlike the east coast, the rain will be slamming a small region while the rest remains dry.

Meanwhile. Your PNW friends are about to have a dry winter, which they aren’t set-up for… and leads to easier fires in summer.

[u/Own-Buffalo1445 → u/CGA001]

[u/ChungusReaper → u/CGA001]

Try southern Louisiana, pretty much 90+ degrees and 80% humidity every single day for 8 months of the year.

[u/Xav_NZ → u/Maethor_derien]

literally the biggest in recent record

Possibly the strongest ever even according to my friend that works for NIWA (NZ equivalent of NOAA) ,and anything prior to 1900 would have had nowhere near the ambient SST's we have today this is very much unprecedented and my friend has now told me (many times) that there are no analogues to look back to to know what impacts to expect in the coming months.

In other words.

[u/HandToDikCombat → u/Xav_NZ]

Y'all worry too much. We got this. We'll get the arch built, rename the Pacific to the American Ocean, and your lil baby twister, it's just going to be gone. Amazing how it works, really, it's just the best.

[u/Senior_Torte519 → u/HandToDikCombat]

There are no storms. -Brought to you by the Party of the Storm Wizard.

[u/Charlo0oki → u/Senior_Torte519]

Just use a sharpie and make the storms go elsewhere.

[u/Confident_Banana_134]

The historic Super El Niño this year is causing significantly fewer hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin, while simultaneously boosting storm activity in the Pacific.

[u/reverendcinzia → u/Confident_Banana_134]

[u/KoiMusubi]

El Niño makes tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific very high while making the Atlantic very quiet. I'm a few days out from experiencing my third tropical cyclone this season.

[u/CivilCaregiver6519 → u/KoiMusubi]

I think you are possibly the only person in the comments who actually knows what they are talking about. Thank you for that. I've experienced those super active years too, there have been others but 2004 and 2005 were the worst for me personally. Back to back storms are always extraordinarily fatiguing, and devastating when you have bad damage, but you will get through it.

[u/sunfacethedestroyer → u/CivilCaregiver6519]

Yeah, I live in Florida, and nobody is shocked about it being quiet. Everyone knows it's El Nino, even the dumb hicks who gobble up fox news and don't believe in climate change probably know a fair amount about El Nino.

[u/FlashyFigs → u/sunfacethedestroyer]

But are they demanding it be renamed to El America yet?

[u/why0me → u/FlashyFigs]

No, because they want it to be scary on the news so its gotta stay foreign

Thems the rules

[u/LingonberryGlum2356 → u/FlashyFigs]

Whoa, whoa, what's this 'el' stuff? 

Through my decision ALONE, I have decided to change the name of the WEATHER ITSELF, from this day forward TROPICAL STORMS are to be called AMERICAN names. No more of this 'el' and 'la'. That's called INDOCTRONATION! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER. Your favorite president: me! DJT 47 - ?

El Niño is Spanish for… The Niño!

[u/LCDRformat → u/CivilCaregiver6519]

Everyone who has talked to another person in the last three months has heard the name 'El Nino' about forty six times so I don't know if they're the only one who knows what they're talking about lmao

[u/01Cloud01 → u/KoiMusubi]

I wish there was a way to filter comments between insightful comments, and pranks jokester comments.

[u/thatG_evanP → u/01Cloud01]

There used to be way more insightful comments on reddit. They were one of the main reasons I kept coming back. If I had discovered reddit recently, I can't say if I would've stuck around or not. It definitely still has its moments but they're fewer and farther in-between.

[u/pork_ribs → u/thatG_evanP]

2007 was like a fever dream. People came to reddit because there wasn’t any politics or news, only interesting things and impeccable grammar. It was an oasis in the growing desert of Facebook, and that was when Facebook was still only college students.

I agree with you. I found my niches then and understand the value of what’s in Reddit when you dig. If I found it today I wouldn’t even make it past the first scroll of r/all before I decided it was just another stupid image hosting site with the worst people on the planet populating the comment sections.

Also society (in the USA at least) is being so intentionally fractured that it’s visible here. The amount of correcting each other hasn’t changed but the vitriol is all new as of the last 5-10 years.

[u/thatG_evanP → u/pork_ribs]

I haven't been here that long, probably 14 years (I didn't actually create an account for quite a while) but I can only imagine it was even better then. But you described it perfectly even in the time that I joined. It was like an oasis of a lot of knowledgeable people and people who enjoyed learning from those people. Even the very knowledgeable were bound to run across someone that made them feel like a student. The rest of the internet was starting on its steady decline but reddit was like the one "social" site you could go to avoid the ever-growing amount of brain-rotting content that was taking over the rest of the internet. For a few years, I was learning stuff every day and getting interested in subjects I'd never even considered. It sounds corny but it truly was amazing. Sadly the flood of shit eventually made it here. The final nail in the coffin was when reddit went public but it was like the years before that was when they started trying to make it "more accessible" and in this old man's opinion, they ruined one of the last a great places on the internet.

[u/dingoshiba → u/KoiMusubi]

Had to scroll way too far to find this comment - this is the correct answer. What’s worse is that 2027 will be the real El Niño year. It’s in its infancy now and it’s already huge

[u/12thshadow → u/[deleted]]

They are calling it el Jefe

[u/dotnsk → u/KoiMusubi]

Yep, and it’s certainly not a coincidence that they’re predicting a super El Niño this year and we suddenly see a historic dearth of hurricane activity in the Atlantic.

[u/TrumpetOfDeath → u/dotnsk]

Not just a super El Niño, but the strongest one on record, even if you remove the extra heat from climate change. To be fair, it’s a relatively short period over which we have records, but this is an extreme one regardless

[u/Connecticat1 → u/TrumpetOfDeath]

We have a lot of indirect data from tree rings (goes back 1000 years), ice cores (~100K years), pollen records (from peat bogs) that tell us a lot about historical temperature and climate in general.

[u/TrumpetOfDeath → u/Connecticat1]

Tree rings are used as a geological proxy for El Nino, but those are somewhat unreliable because many global variables determine the annual weather and El Nino doesn't guarantee any specific pattern of rainfall, it just makes certain patterns more likely (dry El Nino years are possible in CA, same with wet La Nina). And ice cores provide no information at all on sea surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific.

A more reliable proxy are marine fossils, from corals and other organisms that indicate warmers or cooler waters, but you can't put a specific number on those historical events to compare with modern ones because we don't have direct sea surface temperature measurements made with calibrated thermometers. None of those proxy methods can replace having modern scientific instruments

[u/Goodknight808 → u/KoiMusubi]

I have lived in Hawai'i for 31 years and never experienced a legit hurricane.

This last year has had the worst storms ever, and like 3 tsuanmi events. I maybe see lightning once a year. The Kona Lows was a full on light show. And now hurricane #4 or 5....enough already, I cannot.

[u/SuperSecretSpare → u/KoiMusubi]

You in Hawaii, too?

[u/przecietny_krotkopis]

[u/DCJustSomeone → u/przecietny_krotkopis]

I could see trump try to take credit for that lol

[u/rosefiend → u/przecietny_krotkopis]

Fixed it for ya

[u/Doctor_Saved]

It's good that there were no Atlantic hurricanes. Except now there's that "it's too quiet" feeling.

[u/IHeartBadCode → u/Doctor_Saved]

It's the El Niño being way too warm. It's breaking up hurricanes before they can form.

Happens with some El Niño events but this one is a rare one as it's still going strong into late September.

When the blob of heat is near the equator and happens around summer time, you get what we're seeing. When the blob of heat moves towards the poles around winter time, that's when you see all that polar vortex stuff starting to spill into the lower latitudes.

El Niño and the polar vortex are two different things, but when a large blob of heat moves into their area during the right time, it causes disruption to those events.

[u/Extreme-Analysis-337 → u/IHeartBadCode]

So you are right but not explaining why the heat sitting where it is actually effects Atlantic hurricanes. It's the Pacific jet stream being in a different path (in this current situation it actually split) and the wind shear it pushes into the Gulf/Atlantic region suffocates the atmosphere and it cannot develop the tropic waves that come from the African coast.

[u/JesusWasATexan → u/Extreme-Analysis-337]

I thought it was because of those butterflies flapping their wings in Peking.

[u/Old_Win8422 → u/IHeartBadCode]

Yeah and its supercharged the hurricane season in the western pacific. And look up the 1877 El nino event.

[u/ABrusca1105 → u/Old_Win8422]

Don't larger El ninos crash harder into La Nina? So that means next year or the year after will be crazy.

[u/pattydickens → u/ABrusca1105]

Not really. Patterns aren't predictable anymore. The ocean temps might just continue to rise. Atmospheric carbon hasn't been this high in millions of years, so it's anyone's guess. Multiple systems are collapsing. Nothing will be "normal" ever again.

[u/CommonSensei-_ → u/IHeartBadCode]

So it’s not weather control devices?

Darn.

Thanks for the science. I can put my tin foil hat away….. for now!!!!

[u/123supreme123 → u/Doctor_Saved]

Instead you east coast folks sent them all to Hawaii. Thanks a lot!

[u/Apart-Zucchini-5825 → u/123supreme123]

Does this mean you people are going to send us volcanoes

[u/TheLordVader1978 → u/Apart-Zucchini-5825]

Could you imagine a active volcano in the middle of Florida. I give it 3 weeks before there is a coaster around it.

[u/AgentDeadPool → u/Apart-Zucchini-5825]

[u/Lost-Platypus8271 → u/Doctor_Saved]

Have a glance at the Pacific, you’ll see a Cat 5 right now. It’s just different wind patterns this year because of El Niño

[u/Unapplicable1100 → u/Doctor_Saved]

[u/Sleep_adict → u/Doctor_Saved]

Seeing the current temps in the Gulf of Mexico, even a tropical storm will quickly become cat 5… going to be some cheap real estate soon

[u/J3ster14 → u/Sleep_adict]

Yes, but wait until you see what it will cost to insure it with the one company still writing policies

Trump banned all hurricanes from American shores. If they try to make landfall he deports them. No foreigners of any kind.

[u/Wretschko]

It means that the hurricanes are now appearing more frequently in the PACIFIC.

Right now, there are three Pacific hurricanes: Polo, near Mexico; Odalys, in the middle of the ocean; and Nolo. approaching Hawaii.

Yay, SUPER EL NINO, apparently the strongesst on record.

[u/chiksahlube]

Meanwhile on the pacific side...

[u/paleocacher]

El Niño weakens Atlantic hurricanes. For there to be none at all means that the El Niño is going to be very very strong.

This portends a very bad winter for the west coasts of North and South America.

[u/Pyrostasis]

Clearly changing the name to Gulf of America broke our address forwarding for the hurricanes.

Someone just forgot to submit the change of address.

[u/lilianasJanitor]

Strong El Niño suppresses Atlantic hurricanes by increasing shear. The stronger the El Niño, the stronger the effect is.

[u/VeryLowIQIndividual]

I’m not a weather expert, but some of the southeast has been under a “heat dome” for a month with zero rain, everything is fucking dead here.

Now I’m not a meteorologist, scientist or even a local yocal weatherman. But last week this area was the hottest area in the world and I’ve got to think that that’s got something to do with it.

Although our genius president will probably take credit for there being no hurricanes this year

[u/omnichad → u/VeryLowIQIndividual]

Super El Niño. Last one was in 2015 and it was a very inactive Atlantic hurricane season. Pacific was another story.

[u/konstfack → u/omnichad]
