Detailed explanation-1: -The combination of these factors can affect weather in Texas. While El Niño can mean wetter, cooler seasons for us, La Niña at this time of year typically leaves Texas drier and warmer than normal-as we saw in 2022, which was bookended by La Niña winters.
Detailed explanation-2: -La Niña delivers drier, warmer, and sunnier weather along the southern tier of the United States, from California to Florida. This weather increases the risk of wildfires in Florida and dryness in the North American plains.
Detailed explanation-3: -La Niña events in the tropical Pacific can shift the jet stream to the north, causing warm and dry winters across the southern U.S. and wetter and cooler conditions in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
Detailed explanation-4: -Texas has been in a drought since September 2021, coinciding with the La Nina weather pattern.
