由于气候变迁, 拉尼娜已经开始并可能会恶化美国干旱、野火及极端天气。 La Niña has started and will likely worsen droughts, wildfires, and extreme weather in the U.S. due to climate change.

据海洋大气署称,拉尼娜已经正式开始,预计持续到2026年2月。 La Niña has officially begun and is expected to last through February 2026, according to NOAA. 它通常给美国南部带来更干燥的条件,给西北和东北太平洋带来更湿的天气,但全球气温的上升正在扩大这些影响,使极端天气、干旱和野火的风险增加,特别是在南加利福尼亚州等地区。 It typically brings drier conditions to the southern U.S. and wetter weather to the Pacific Northwest and Northeast, but rising global temperatures are amplifying these effects, increasing risks of extreme weather, droughts, and wildfires—especially in areas like Southern California. 科学家们强调,虽然拉尼娜是一种自然气候模式,但其影响因人为的气候变化而加剧,使极端事件更可能发生,也更严重。 Scientists stress that while La Niña is a natural climate pattern, its impacts are being intensified by human-caused climate change, making extreme events more likely and severe.
