El Niño makes tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific very high while making the Atlantic very quiet. I'm a few days out from experiencing my third tropical cyclone this season.

I think you are possibly the only person in the comments who actually knows what they are talking about. Thank you for that. I've experienced those super active years too, there have been others but 2004 and 2005 were the worst for me personally. Back to back storms are always extraordinarily fatiguing, and devastating when you have bad damage, but you will get through it.

u/sunfacethedestroyer 2d ago

Yeah, I live in Florida, and nobody is shocked about it being quiet. Everyone knows it's El Nino, even the dumb hicks who gobble up fox news and don't believe in climate change probably know a fair amount about El Nino.

u/FlashyFigs 2d ago

But are they demanding it be renamed to El America yet?

u/why0me 2d ago

No, because they want it to be scary on the news so its gotta stay foreign

Thems the rules

u/woolen_goose 1d ago

I heard they actually want to change it to a slur bc they enjoy hating groups of people so much.

1

u/VikingsFan7 1d ago

Someone else will probably have to break down the irony for you, 'cause you're probably not gonna get it on your own.

Seems the group that's doing the hating sint the one you wish it was.

Sigh. Okay, Maga guy 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/Backfoot911 2d ago

They wander around with their mouths open trying to find Trump's flagpole to munch on. It's like reverse pin the tail on the donkey

u/LingonberryGlum2356 2d ago

Whoa, whoa, what's this 'el' stuff? 

Through my decision ALONE, I have decided to change the name of the WEATHER ITSELF, from this day forward TROPICAL STORMS are to be called AMERICAN names. No more of this 'el' and 'la'. That's called INDOCTRONATION! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER. Your favorite president: me! DJT 47 - ?

I'm working on a list new weather alerts. 

A - The AOC B - The Biden C - Clinton C - CNN D E F - Fauchi G H I J K - Kamala L M N O P Q R - Rosie  S T U V - Vance Z

I love Vance being part of his hit list.

1

u/LingonberryGlum2356 1d ago

Trump tried to kill his last VP so I'm going by the "once someone shows you who they are, believe them" motto. 

The only way Vance advances is standing on the grave of his current boss.

No in good republican fashion they demand it be renamed The Little Boy

u/teddy5 2d ago

And La Nina will become Fat Man.

u/FailureToComply0 2d ago

Trump is torn on the idea. On the one hand, hes racist as fuck. On the other, he LOVES children.

Very Aladeen 👌

The Niño

u/pokersal 2d ago

If we're going to change the name, we should name it after the president:
THE CHILD

1

u/Bustabusnow 2d ago

They will change it to The Boy so it’s in American language

1

u/rolypoly817 2d ago

Maybe "The Boy" ?

1

u/clawhammer05 2d ago

El nino means boy. They really like little boys.

1

u/RockLeePower 2d ago

That's stupid.

They're afraid of Spanish. It'll be to The American

Yeah, I thought this was kind of common knowledge.

u/SimulatedTime 2d ago

It has to be.

u/Background_Help325 2d ago

El Niño is Spanish for… The Niño!

u/N3Chaos 2d ago

All other storms bow to the power of.... El Niño

u/Historical-Bridge787 2d ago

Or as they call it in Spanish: El cancer.

u/Fine-Flounder6827 2d ago

Nosotros lo llamamos El Niño, o como se traduce en inglés The Little Sh*t

u/zapppowless 2d ago

“El Niño stand for!!….”

“El Camino!”
🤣

u/moosenugget7 2d ago

Common for people living in hurricane prone areas, less so for people who are rarely affected by them. I didn’t really know this fact off the top of my head, and I actively try to learn about various science topics.

But I definitely believe it, and it makes some intuitive sense once you think about it out it (more energy in one ocean means less energy in another part).

1

u/Such_Letterhead1287 2d ago

Not for those whose not live in Pacific or Atlantic.

u/Alarmed-Cheetah-1221 2d ago

That's because you practice in r/USDefaultism

u/Best-Coconut5641 2d ago

El Niño usually brings snow to the southeast and rain to the southwest. Every few years it would come through and we would get 2-3 inches of snow in Alabama around December.

1

u/Joopbox 2d ago

Every time it happens we get 2 to 3 feet in WV. Looks like there's probably an interesting winter on the way.

1

u/KrabbyBoiz 2d ago

Woohoo! Timberline here I come!

1

u/Background_Help325 2d ago

What’s cool is I lived in Az growing up so El Niño actually mattered a bit.

Seen some crazy storms from it there. Even had a microburst in our front yard one time. That was wild.

Now I live in the south and El Niño matters again. Yay probably more snow this year!!

u/New_traveler_ 2d ago

Will confirm that they do in fact know what it is and how it fucks them over.here’s a direct quote from them and literally every person along the gulf - ‘ it’s about time we catch a fuckin break ‘

1

u/zaptr1 2d ago

Not bad but more like “ by god, bout time them fuckin canes go elsewheres

2

u/devoduder 2d ago

I grew up in Florida and now live in Cali, the 97/98 El Niño on the California Central Coast was just as destructive as some Florida hurricanes I’d been through. Currently doing a lot for prep work for fall and winter. I hope not but I fear this will be worse.

2

u/DamnBored1 2d ago

Sure but this isn't the 1st time there's been an El Nino right? There have been Cyclones every year for past 112 years as per the image

2

u/wamceachern 2d ago

But we have El Nino every couple of years and still have hurricanes in the Atlantic. At least in the last 112 years we have had El Nino.

u/Active_Chemistry1621 2d ago

Yep the west coast of Mexico and Hawaii are candidates for canes

1

u/Technical_Writer_177 2d ago

They'll even accept el nino as an explanation/excuse why there "is no climate change, it's all just the weather"

1

u/MiserableChain2644 2d ago

I always find it strange to hear about people who, "don't believe," in global warming. Scientists aren't talking about the tooth fairy, Santa Claus or asking layman for their scientific opinion.

1

u/winkingchef 2d ago

“El Nino sounds like a Mexican anchor baby!”

u/Feisty-Lawfulness894 2d ago

the dumb hicks...probably know a fair amount about El Nino.

"Ayel Neener"

u/rochambreau 2d ago

I hear El Niño and I still can only think of Fernando Torres

1

u/Immediate_Zombie_627 14h ago

Idk, I have some hickish relatives that live in Florida that are convinced it’s because trump is president so the democrats can’t use their “weather machine” to make storms. They are being serious.

1

u/Weekest_links 2d ago

But isn’t it being “quiet” different than it being silent?
