It’s late October and we’re talking about records with hurricanes in the Caribbean.

It’s undoubtedly related to anthropogenic climate change.

How climate change is fueling Hurricane Melissa's ferocity
The warming of the world's oceans caused by climate change helped double Hurricane Melissa's wind speed in less than 24 hours over the weekend, climate scientists said Monday.

While La Niña is currently expected to remain weak, it could still influence the 2025-26 winter season. See what a typical winter La Niña pattern looks like across the U.S.

A graphic with text overlaid on the U.S. La Niña winter impact map. The text reads: "A weak La Niña is less likely to result in typical La Niña winter impacts. However, it could still influence the 2025-26 winter season." A map of North America showing the typical weather patterns during a La Niña winter. A blue arrow shows the polar jet stream dipping southward over the northwestern U.S., bringing colder and wetter conditions to the Pacific Northwest and northern U.S. A "blocking high pressure" system is shown off the West Coast. The southern U.S. is shown with warmer and drier conditions.

La Niña conditions are expected to continue through the December 2025 to February 2026 timeframe. A transition to ENSO-neutral conditions, meaning neither El Niño nor La Niña conditions, is most likely in the January 2026 to March 2026 timeframe.

A bar chart titled "ENSO Probabilities, Issued October 2025." It shows the percent chance of La Niña (blue), Neutral (gray), and El Niño (red) conditions for different three-month seasons from September 2025 to July 2026. The chart indicates a high probability of La Niña in the fall, decreasing over time, while the probability of neutral conditions increases beginning in January 2026.
