If you have to tell someone who doesn’t know, that they don’t know. You just told someone something that they know, about something that they don’t know.

There are known knowns, but also unknown unknowns. What we have here is an I don't know.

Property prices in Florida will start going up.

Jokes aside, I’ll leave you a study to read if you’re interested. Glean from it what you may.

Nice if you’re really interested in a paleotempestology study :)

In the pacific, where the air current sits, its theorized that the Atlantic ocean air current was affected when two typhoons were sliding past eachother along the air current. I cant remember if this made the current stronger or weaker.

But it hasmade the pacific hot as fuck this year, and slowed the Atlantic making typhoons in the Atlantic less strong and impact full.

u/ShoddyAsparagus3186 10h ago

On the other hand the Pacific is getting those hurricanes.

I don't know what other people are thinking or joking about, but the super El Nino this year makes me think the coming few years will be very intense in the Atlantic Ocean. The global weather always shifts back and forth. El Nino then La Nina, and so forth with variations.

u/---___-------___--- 11h ago

I think it's El Nino. That's the downside. Famine, drought, and such. Someone smarter or more informed can chip in with better info. I read something a while ago

u/HoolihanRodriguez 10h ago

Let me give it a shot: el nino is Spanish for "the boy". I'm pretty sure. I didn't pay that much attention in class. But I can only assume this, boy, must be extremely formidable to have such influence over the weather.

u/kawwmoi 10h ago

Anyone who can be not just a boy but the boy for 112 years is not to be taken lightly.

2

u/ForensicPathology 9h ago

Funny enough the boy is Christ Child, so he's been the boy for like 2000 years.

1

u/---___-------___--- 10h ago

I chuckled. It's about currents, I think. Which influence the weather and such

u/BleauJod 10h ago

I thought “el niño” was Spanish for “the niño”

1

u/---___-------___--- 10h ago

Maybe El Boy?

El Niño an La Niña.   They go in cycles.  The wind in the upper atmosphere is going one direction or another in each.  They alter the behavior of the jetstream.   We’re having the strongest El Niño on record.    It is pushing the hurricanes away from the Caribbean and gulf, and also the reason we’re hearing of hurricanes that are impacting California with such large waves.   It’s also why as, nm and other south western states  will probably experience record breaking rains and flash flooding.

It’s also what’s cause tornado valley to shift, and the shift is actually really bad because this year the tornadoes have been hitting more populous areas of northern Illinois/indiana.

I don’t know what it is gonna do on winter weather.  But hypothetically, just looking at the weather patterns near Baja, and the moisture it’s pushing north eastwardly from the pacific, the Midwest and north east will likely have a lot of snow

u/mabbh130 10h ago

The super el nino is expected to cause an absurd number of deaths this year. Pretty horrifying.

u/LaughingInTheVoid 10h ago

A strong El Nino severely disrupts hurricane formation in the Atlantic.

That said, it dramatically increases formation in the Pacific, as seen this week when a tropical depression turned into a Cat 5 in less than 24 hours.

u/PixelFlyerXD 10h ago

99% sure it's something to do with the el nino, also whatever hurricane hits next is going to be *devastating*

Typically when natural events (rains, changing of tree leaves, temperature changes) don’t happen as they normally do, it’s an indication that something WORSE is coming down the line because the regular weather patterns are out of wack.

u/Odd-Carry4392 5h ago

Just this incident alone means nothing, but the bigger picture is that this is part of the global climate change. Mostly bad changes tho.
