The NOAA issued a rash of predictions well prior to the 2005 hurricane season-obviously, not all of them heeded. Now, in a forecast eerily similar in importance to those in 2005, NOAA has announced the official return of La Niña. El Niño, perhaps a better known weather pattern in the west, heats up the Pacific Ocean surface; sister La Niña has an ocean surface cooling effect.
Generally, they both aggravate existing weather trends. For example, hot arid areas suffer warmer temperatures and drought conditions and normally colder, moist regions get colder and wetter. According to NOAA, 2006 had the driest March on record for five East Coast states and the wettest month in parts of the Hawaiian islands.
Vice Admiral Conrad C. Lautenbacher Jr., NOAA administrator, recently said, "In mid-January, the atmosphere over the Pacific indicated that La Niña conditions were developing."
