A third consecutive Pacific hurricane season influenced by the La Niña weather pattern could make the outlook feel like déjà vu, although AccuWeather forecasters warn that this season won’t be an exact repeat of last year.
With the East Pacific basin’s hurricane season starting on May 15 and the Central Pacific basin season following 16 days later, forecasters are predicting that the conditions presented by the La Niña pattern will keep a lid on the number of major hurricanes that may develop in the two basins, unlike what forecasters are expecting in the Atlantic basin.
