let's take a look at how the el nino southern oscillation has affected this year's hurricane season, een so intense, especially compared to recent years. in the year up to may 2016, enso was in the el nino, or warm, phase. the warming of the equatorial pacific often lead to stronger vertical wind shear in the atlantic, wind shear refers to the changing wind speed, and/ or direction, with height in the atmosphere. stronger wind shear leads to weaker hurricanes and makes landfall less likely. however, since may the pacific has been cooling, becoming more neutral, and is now entering a week phase, or a cool place. reducing the wind shear and hence promoting stronger and more frequent hurricanes. another major factor in the summer was a big blocking area of high pressure, feeding warm and moist air over the western atlantic and warming the waters there by as much as four or five degrees compared to the average. these warmer waters have provided the fuel to power these huge, formidable hurricanes that have formed in the region this year. so the very act hurricane season of 2016 has now com
