What will a La Niña summer mean to Canada?
As the surface temperatures in the Eastern Pacific basins start to cool down, that’s going to be the driving force that topples us into Alanina summer. Now for May into June, we’re still going to be looking at neutral conditions. However, as we get from June, July into August, that’s when we have chances of up to 50% of being in a La Nina summer. Now taking a look back at one of the other La Nina summers where we came out of an El Nino 2016. We saw that in the West, it started out as a mainly warmer conditions and as we head into July and into August, that’s when the heat started to build right across areas of the East, especially across the Great Lakes. And another portion of the La Nina that we watch very closely is going to be a hyperactive Atlantic season, mainly with hurricane season 20/10/2016 and 20/20 were three years that we saw an El Nino pattern and with it, we saw a more hyperactive hurricane season. And with this summer and the already warm sea surface temperatures across the Atlantic basin, we are going to be projecting to see quite an active hurricane season going into 2024 summer.
