From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

_The title of this article contains the character [ñ](/wiki/%C3%91 "Ñ"). Where it is unavailable or not wanted, the name may be written as **La Nina**._

**La Niña** is a coupled ocean atmosphere phenomenon that is counterpart to [El Niño](/wiki/El_Ni%C3%B1o "El Niño"). The
name means "little girl" in Spanish. La Niñas are often, though not always, preceded by an El Niño phenomenon. Weather patterns in the United States are usually different than during El Niño years. During La Niñas the Atlantic hurricane season produces more intense storms than normal.

A strong La Niña hit in 1988-1989. A weaker one took place during 1995. An extended strong La Niña spell took place from 1998 to 2000, followed by neutral periods between 2000 and 2002. A more recent La Niña happened in 2007-2008, followed by neutral conditions in 2008-2009.
