La Niña May Soon Arrive

Thursday, March 1st, 2007 Catastrophe

On the heels of El Niño, its opposite, La Niña may soon arrive.

Recently, cooler-than-normal water temperatures have developed at the surface in the east-central equatorial Pacific, indicating a possible transition to La Niña conditions.
