Expect A Warm Fall Even With La Niña On The Way
• The World Meteorological Organization forecasts a 55–60% chance of La Niña forming this fall, but global temperatures are expected to remain above average.
• Human-driven climate change is counteracting La Niña's typical cooling effects, leading to a warmer-than-usual fall across North America.
• Above-average temperatures could limit snowmaking opportunities, potentially delaying the opening of ski resorts.
Warmer fall expected despite La Niña arrival
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) predicts a 55–60% chance of La Niña developing this fall. However, global temperatures, including those across North America, are expected to remain above average. This seemingly contradictory forecast highlights the powerful influence of human-caused climate change, which is overriding the typical cooling effects of La Niña.
