El Niño Weakened Atlantic Hurricane Season
- "As the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season comes to a close, NOAA scientists announced that seasonal activity was lower than expected due to the rapid development of El Niño -- a periodic warming of the ocean waters in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, which influences pressure and wind patterns across the tropical Atlantic." - quote from this National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA) news story.
