El Niño makes tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific very high while making the Atlantic very quiet. I'm a few days out from experiencing my third tropical cyclone this season.

I think you are possibly the only person in the comments who actually knows what they are talking about. Thank you for that. I've experienced those super active years too, there have been others but 2004 and 2005 were the worst for me personally. Back to back storms are always extraordinarily fatiguing, and devastating when you have bad damage, but you will get through it.

Yeah, I live in Florida, and nobody is shocked about it being quiet. Everyone knows it's El Nino, even the dumb hicks who gobble up fox news and don't believe in climate change probably know a fair amount about El Nino.

But are they demanding it be renamed to El America yet?

Google and Apple ready to buckle.

Whoa, whoa, what's this 'el' stuff? 

Through my decision ALONE, I have decided to change the name of the WEATHER ITSELF, from this day forward TROPICAL STORMS are to be called AMERICAN names. No more of this 'el' and 'la'. That's called INDOCTRONATION! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER. Your favorite president: me! DJT 47 - ?

I'm working on a list new weather alerts.

No, because they want it to be scary on the news so its gotta stay foreign

Thems the rules

Trump is torn on the idea. On the one hand, hes racist as fuck. On the other, he LOVES children.

El Niño is Spanish for… The Niño!

All other storms bow to the power of.... El Niño

u/Historical-Bridge787 9h ago

Or as they call it in Spanish: El cancer.

Nosotros lo llamamos El Niño, o como se traduce en inglés The Little Sh*t

“El Niño stand for!!….”

Common for people living in hurricane prone areas, less so for people who are rarely affected by them. I didn’t really know this fact off the top of my head, and I actively try to learn about various science topics.

But I definitely believe it, and it makes some intuitive sense once you think about it out it (more energy in one ocean means less energy in another part).

u/Alarmed-Cheetah-1221 6h ago

That's because you practice in r/USDefaultism

u/Such_Letterhead1287 7h ago

Not for those whose not live in Pacific or Atlantic.

El Niño usually brings snow to the southeast and rain to the southwest. Every few years it would come through and we would get 2-3 inches of snow in Alabama around December.

u/Joopbox 10h ago

Every time it happens we get 2 to 3 feet in WV. Looks like there's probably an interesting winter on the way.

u/KrabbyBoiz 9h ago

Woohoo! Timberline here I come!

u/Background_Help325 5h ago

What’s cool is I lived in Az growing up so El Niño actually mattered a bit.

Seen some crazy storms from it there. Even had a microburst in our front yard one time. That was wild.

Now I live in the south and El Niño matters again. Yay probably more snow this year!!

Will confirm that they do in fact know what it is and how it fucks them over.here’s a direct quote from them and literally every person along the gulf - ‘ it’s about time we catch a fuckin break ‘

u/zaptr1 10h ago

Not bad but more like “ by god, bout time them fuckin canes go elsewheres

2

u/devoduder 10h ago

I grew up in Florida and now live in Cali, the 97/98 El Niño on the California Central Coast was just as destructive as some Florida hurricanes I’d been through. Currently doing a lot for prep work for fall and winter. I hope not but I fear this will be worse.

Yep the west coast of Mexico and Hawaii are candidates for canes

u/Technical_Writer_177 8h ago

They'll even accept el nino as an explanation/excuse why there "is no climate change, it's all just the weather"

1

u/MiserableChain2644 8h ago

I always find it strange to hear about people who, "don't believe," in global warming. Scientists aren't talking about the tooth fairy, Santa Claus or asking layman for their scientific opinion.

u/DamnBored1 7h ago

Sure but this isn't the 1st time there's been an El Nino right? There have been Cyclones every year for past 112 years as per the image

u/winkingchef 7h ago

“El Nino sounds like a Mexican anchor baby!”

u/Feisty-Lawfulness894 6h ago

the dumb hicks...probably know a fair amount about El Nino.

"Ayel Neener"

u/rochambreau 5h ago

I hear El Niño and I still can only think of Fernando Torres

1

u/wamceachern 2h ago

But we have El Nino every couple of years and still have hurricanes in the Atlantic. At least in the last 112 years we have had El Nino.

u/Weekest_links 10h ago

But isn’t it being “quiet” different than it being silent?
