For the third winter season in a row, Pacific Ocean equator-region temperatures and barometric pressure values are expected to be in La Nina category. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) defines La Nina as: "The periodic cooling of ocean surface temperatures in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific. Typically, La Nina events occur every three to five years or so, but on occasion can occur over successive years. La Nina represents the cool phase of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle."
