While much weaker than their Pacific counterpart, Atlantic Ni\u00f1as can, however, partially counteract La Ni\u00f1as by weakening summer winds that help drive the upwelling that cools the eastern Pacific.<\/p>\n

Why Are Both Happening Now?<\/h2>\n

In July and August 2024, meteorologists noted cooling<\/a> that appeared to be the development of an Atlantic Ni\u00f1a along the equator. The winds at the ocean surface had been weak through most of the summer, and sea surface temperatures there were quite warm until early June<\/a>, so signs of an Atlantic Ni\u00f1a emerging were a surprise.<\/p>\n

At the same time, waters along the equator in the eastern Pacific were also cooling, with La Ni\u00f1a conditions expected<\/a> there by October or November.<\/p>\n
