Weather specialists warn that the 2025–26 winter season could rank among the coldest in recent memory, with mounting evidence of La Niña’s return. The climate phenomenon, marked by cooler Pacific Ocean temperatures, often alters global air circulation and jet stream patterns, triggering harsher winters with prolonged frost and heavier snowfall.
The US Climate Prediction Center and other agencies have highlighted oceanic temperature changes likely to spark La Niña in the coming months. Should forecasts prove accurate, many regions could face early onset of cold, severe frost, and intensified snow at higher elevations.
Meteorologists note that even a weaker La Niña episode may still bring notable temperature drops, with implications for agriculture, local economies, and daily life. Its global impact is expected to be significant, particularly in areas unaccustomed to extreme cold, making preparation essential.
