El Niño Fuels Record Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season
13 Oct
Summary
- Eastern Pacific sets hurricane activity record.
- Strengthening El Niño is a major contributing factor.
- Oceanic heat wave fuels storms off Mexico and California.
The eastern Pacific has shattered its previous records for hurricane activity. A convergence of factors, primarily a strengthening El Niño, has created a hyperactive storm season.
Adding to the intensity, an oceanic heat wave has persisted off the coasts of Mexico and California. This unusual warmth in the waters has served as a catalyst, significantly fueling the development and strength of numerous storms.
Currently, Hurricane Simon is making its presence felt, lashing Mexico's western coastline. Adding to the concern, another storm is developing and poses a further threat in the region.
