TOKYO (Reuters) – There is a high chance for the La Nina weather phenomenon to continue over the summer, Japan’s weather bureau said on Thursday.
It estimated the likelihood at 70%, adding that there were even chances for La Nina to continue in the autumn, instead of the return of normal weather patterns.
A La Nina, which brings unusually cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean region, is also linked to floods and drought.
