Figure 30: 25-Year Atlantic Hurricane Frequency By ENSO Phase<br />
During El Niño Phases:<br />
• Overall hurricane frequency decreases significantly<br />
• Category 3 (sustained winds of 111 mph (179 kph) or greater) hurricane frequency decreases<br />
• L<strong>and</strong>falling hurricane frequency remains near average<br />
During La Niña Phases:<br />
• Overall hurricane frequency increases significantly<br />
• Category 3 (sustained winds of 111 mph (179 kph) or greater) hurricane frequency increases<br />
• L<strong>and</strong>falling hurricane frequency increases<br />
During Neutral Phases:<br />
• Overall hurricane frequency remains near average<br />
• Category 3 (sustained winds of 111 mph (179 kph) or greater) hurricane frequency remains near average<br />
• L<strong>and</strong>falling hurricane frequency remains near average<br />
