New forecast data for Winter 2022/2023 shows a strong weather presence of the final La Nina phase. A blocking system is forecast to develop over the North Pacific, altering the jet steam and the winter weather patterns in North America. Temperature, pressure, and snowfall patterns will be affected as the ocean anomaly alters the atmosphere.
Many factors are influencing the Winter season each year. But this year, one of the main factors is the cold La Nina in the ENSO regions of the equatorial Pacific, entering its final year of dominance.
But how can the oceans have such an impact on winter weather? We will quickly examine how La Nina works and how its influence from the past can show us the future weather development as the Winter season 2022/2023 is about to begin.
