El Nino could mean less hurricanes this year Wrigley Burris

The upcoming hurricane season will probably be for the 3rd year in a row be at a lower number than average. The phenomenon known as El Niño is back this year. The event, involving the warming of water in the equatorial Pacific, increases strong wind shear in the Atlantic.That reduces the intensity of tropical storms and hurricanes and prevents other systems from becoming powerful enough to be named storms. "What El Niño does is it suppresses the hurricane season mainly during the peak months of the season, which are August, September and October," Bell told reporters during a news conference in New Orleans on Wednesday.

This relates to APUSH because less hurricanes means less money spent on reconstruction after the hurricanes. And if we have a major weather out break like in the dust bowl or in Hurricane Katrina this could pose major issues for the american infrastructure
