After months of hearing about the possibility of the world entering a La Niña climate pattern, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) announced Thursday that water temperatures in critical parts of the Pacific Ocean had finally reached the threshold required for La Niña to emerge in December.
La Niña is considered the cool phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and is characterized by lower-than-average sea-surface temperatures, with anomalies of at least -0.5 degrees Celsius (-0.9 degrees Fahrenheit) over parts of the Central and Eastern Pacific.
