- The stretch of the central Atlantic was falling in temperatures up to 86°F near the equator.
- Then, almost overnight, the mercury plunged to 72°F.
- This is the warmest since 1982.
- This cooling event sparked predictions of an “Atlantic Niña,” a climate pattern similar to the Pacific Ocean’s La Niña.
- An Atlantic Niña could bring more rainfall to western Africa while causing less rainfall in northeastern Brazil and the Gulf of Guinea.
- The last time this pattern was observed was in 2013.
