Burning fossil fuels releases both greenhouse gases and tiny particles called aerosols, which have a push-pull impact on the strength of hurricanes.
Our blogger discusses current conditions in the tropical Pacific and why forecasters favor ENSO-neutral through the summer.
The surface of the tropical Pacific has been warmer than average for a few months now, but ENSO-neutral conditions are still in place. Our blogger takes a journey into the mind of an ENSO forecaster. It’s her own mind, but that still counts.
The tropical Pacific has been warmer than average for a few months now, but forecasters favor ENSO-neutral through the spring.

ENSO-neutral conditions are likely to remain through the fall. What’s going on in the tropical Pacific? While we’re at it, what’s going on with the Atlantic hurricane season?
