Although plagued with So why don't residents from San Diego to Seattle also fear hurricanes? And could that change in a world where climate change is disrupting nearly every weather pattern? It turns out sea surface temperatures nearshore and trade winds along the Equator matter, a lot. Calm winds and a cooler water current along California's coast act together to protect the West Coast. READ MORE: How does climate change affect you?: That's a striking feature of the West Coast, especially because tropical storms and hurricanes routinely make landfall south of San Diego in the Baja California Peninsula. There, much warmer water supplies more fuel for storms. Has a hurricane ever hit the West Coast? It depends on your definition. Historic records show at least two hurricanes came very close. A hurricane with estimated 75 mph winds affected San Diego on Oct. 2, 1858, passing just west offshore, but not making landfall, according to a 2004 analysis HURRICANE FORECASTS: INFOGRAPHIC: The pair found a report in the Daily Alta California from a San Diego correspondent who reported "one of the most terrific and violent hurricanes that has ever been noticed by the inhabitants of our quiet city."

Snow covers shrubs and the top of a cactus on Thursday, March 2, 2023 east of Phoenix, Ariz. The National Weather Service predicts that a powerful weather system will affect most of the lower 48 states into Thursday as it began to taper off in California. It could bring heavy snow to the Southwest and some portions of the high Plains and record high temperatures in the Gulf Coast into the Ohio Valley.

Mountainous areas of California experienced nearly unprecedented What is going on with all the snow? “This rain and snow bucked the trend and it’s highly unexpected,” said Ryan Maue, a meteorologist and former NOAA chief scientist. “It’s like once-in-a-generation.” Meteorologists say the explanation for the robust winter season is not so simple, nor is it a direct result of the current La Niña climate pattern, with the cooling of central Pacific ocean surface waters affecting weather. “The short answer is no, La Niña alone is not the main cause of this weather,” said Daniel McEvoy, a researcher with the Western Regional Climate Center. Bianca Feldkircher, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said a persistent blocking pattern over the Pacific Ocean plus cold air migrating south from the Arctic have created the conditions for widespread snowfall along the West Coast. “Not only were you getting significant snowfall in areas ...
