Tropical Storms – Roundup of Tropical Storms:

In the Eastern Pacific Ocean: Tropical Storm 02e (Blas), located approximately 876 nm south-southeast of San Diego, is tracking west-northwestward at 05 knots.

Tropical depression 03e (Celia), located approximately 1855 nm east-southeast of San Diego, is tracking westward at 06 knots.

Triple La Niña

Predictions that the La Niña ocean cooling in the Pacific will strengthen for the third consecutive year likely means there will be more severe weather around the world for months to come.

For the past two years, La Niña has brought crop-withering drought to Africa, unprecedented floods to eastern Australia and two very active Atlantic hurricane seasons.

The U.S. environmental agency NOAA says that while La Niñas often come for two consecutive years, it now seems likely there will be a rare “triple La Niña.” Temperatures across the Pacific where the cooling typically occurs were the coldest since 1950 during April. They were also the coldest since 1988 in May.
