The way I understand it, warmer than usual Pacific Ocean temperatures (it's cyclical) change the atmosphere in our hemisphere, which affects the path of the pacific jet stream, bringing us some of the weather we're feeling.
I also just read the El Niño is winding down and likely to transition to a La Niña fall which means more active hurricanes in the Caribbean (which can make their way up the coast to NJ).
When we have hurricanes going from Cat 2 to Cat 4 literally over night before they make landfall because the ocean in the Caribbean is over 100, something it’s never been before, it is because of the acceleration of climate caused by human impact.
I’m not a climate change denier I just think that the fear mongering is out of control. It’s rare that the Caribbean is that warm without it being an anomaly. NOAA has the warmest years for the last 10 years as follows: 2016, 2020, 2019, 2015, 2017, 2022, 2021, 2018, 2014, 2010. So yes, it’s getting warmer but we the planet is getting more populated and developed as a result so this should be expected.
https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/monthly-report/global/202213
But people are making it sound like each year it’s getting worse and worse. And the temperatures don’t display that. I think the biggest issue I have with all the climate change folks is that they act like it’s going to be an apocalypse. I know some far right extremist act like it’s not happening at all which is not me. But the Earth has been around much longer than people. And I think it’ll find a way to have some sort of homeostasis. We’re all gonna be ok!!
It very well may be the reason for more frequent and stronger El Nino events.

This was highlighted in the link you provided:
The relationship between climate change and stronger El Niño is a topic of ongoing scientific research. While there is no definitive agreement in the scientific community, recent studies suggest that global heating MAY be leading to stronger El Niño events.
ONE recent study found that current sea surface temperature extremes driven by El Niño have intensified by around 10% compared to pre-1960 levels.
So no slam dunk here when the science community isn’t even agreeing on it. And ONE study suggests doesn’t make me lean any closer to worrying about it more than a cloudy day.
But some think it’s the end of the world!
Ocasio-Cortez called the fight to mitigate the effects of climate change her generation's "World War II." “Millennials and Gen Z and all these folks that come after us are looking up, and we're like, 'The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?' " she said.
Seriously? I think she’s watched that 2012 movie too many times.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2019/01/22/ocasio-cortez-climate-change-alarm/2642481002/
Which is exactly why I used the phrase "it very well may be" instead of "it definitely is".
But it's not that big of a stretch, honestly. Whether we have strong evidence or not.
lol love the downvotes- follow this thread and you’ll see! Each year we hear the same schtick- “we’re going to see record numbers of hurricanes” with even more powerful winds… tense music fades. The news the loves it.
I’ve been flying back and forth from the Midwest all year and have to hold onto my butt every time for the whole damn flight. Been wondering why it’s so much worse than usual- El Niño totally tracks. Can it end pls!!!
Climate change makes El Niño & La Niña more extreme. So when someone says something like it's Rainier than normal or this drought is lasting longer than normal and some idiot comes along and says "well duh, it's El Niño or La Niña" tell them to shut the fuck up and stop being a dumbass because I'm sick of these fucking idiots who will use any excuse to ignore climate change is real, it's really happening and it's caused by humans. And then insult a member of their family for good measure

No, I was literally just saying the same exact thing this morning to someone. I also feel like it’s more rainy/dreary/cloudy more than ever the last two years as well.
You are aware that humans have irreversibly destroyed the climate to the point where conditions are no longer predictable and human existence is going to be threatened?
We're two years away from locking ourselves into an even more catastrophic path.
Not surprised one bit about the facts of it, but sure I will admit it is surprising the speed of how fast it is occurring. Also, I didn’t downvote you (concerning your other comment below), so not sure where your assumptions are coming from.
I didn't make any assumptions. Never accused you of anything.
Either way, it shouldn't be surprising for anyone whos paid attention. It's been nearly 70 years of warnings that we are destroying the climate and absolutely nothing has ever been done about it.
Yeah, countless species going extinct and our entire climate being destroyed, including landmasses the size of entire states being destroyed, flooded or otherwise uninhabited due to OUR callous behavior annoys me.
Didn’t they say this two years ago? .i did a report on global fucking warming 20 years ago and Co2 emissions and things that caused “ warming” had been cut in half some completely. You global warming people are lemmings repeating something else they heard from someone else. It’s unbelievable how ignorant people are…
These are different deadlines being set for different milestones.
Yeah CO2 emissions were cut and the ozone issue healed, that's not the same thing as the climate change that is occurring due to human activity.
Ironic that you speak of ignorance while conflating these things.
What concerns me is how we are downplaying it. I live on the water and have had plenty of days of 40-50mph winds and rain. Tropical storms are 39-73mph but the weatherman just says “chance of heavy rain and windy tonight”.
Something something God is angry at abortions rabble rabble... You know, because that's more logical than the decades and decades of data that proved climate change was occurring, well, decades ago.
Wtf is your point? Weather is def getting worse, people can believe whatever they want but you can't dispute facts. I was just stating a fact. One guy says I'm woke and you say otherwise.
These are the windiest blowiest worst winds, ok, and it’s the democrat’s fault, right, the democrats want it to be windy to ruin my golf swing, ok, but i’m the best golfer in america 👌👌👌
I am so glad someone else noticed, I felt like I was losing my mind. I won't ever remember the wind being so strong and consistently going in my 45 years. Honestly the rain has been pretty intense too.
A warmer climate means more water vapor in the atmosphere. Water vapor and the extremes of its heating and cooling drives a lot of our weather. Stronger fronts, more clouds, jet streams moving in non-historical ways... "Weather" is getting different from what we grew up with, that's for sure. And it's only going to get more divergent from here.
When we moved back to Middlesex County 4 years ago we noticed how much windier it was. But I’ve always chalked it up to the terrain in this area being much flatter and closer to the coastline than in northern Bergen County, which is hillier. However I keep hearing so many people talk about the crazy wind so it’s not just us. The day of the earthquake, I initially mistook the tremor as a strong wind gust.
Me too, I've been paranoid about tornadoes ever since that one storm sent three of em through the state a few years ago, and I thought we were finally getting it.
New Jersey has more wind than Chicago and more rain than Seattle, according to the farmers almanac. .
The summer here is about 6 weeks long… But.., we have great pizza, restaurants and school system. Trying to be positive, as I plant low level flowers in my garden to keep them from getting destroyed by the Jersey Winds.
And if you’re ever able to afford a house (I was 39 when it finally happened), the majority of your property taxes will go to the schools, and it doesn’t matter if you have zero kids or 10.
I don’t have any kids and I pay property taxes because an educated population is beneficial to us all. Don’t you remember what happened during the pandemic? Education is a bargain.
I realize that education is important. My point was that we should pay taxes based on how many kids we have in the school system.
If your neighbor has five cars, and you have one, would it be fair for you to pay the same insurance rate?
That's the cost of living in a "social" society. Paying for things a la carte creates a world where the wealthy have benefits, and the poor don't. Can you imagine what it would be like if you had to pay more to have fire service, or police service, or to have your road paved. There are soo many roads you have paid for that you will likely never drive on.
> Can you imagine what it would be like if you had to pay more to have fire service, or police service, or to have your road paved.

This sub has to always whine about something. Too wet, too dry, too windy, too hot, too cold, too much snow, not enough snow, too many bugs, PA drivers in the left lane, flags on the beach, stickers on cars, flags on front lawns...on and on.
Two years ago, summer 2022. I don't know if people just outright don't pay attention to the climate or nature around them or maybe they have short memories, but after how awful that summer was (on top of the obvious water issues & ecological problems, kids were lighting fireworks at a park near my house so often it was catching fire because it was so fucking dry) I'll take extra rainy days & more wind gladly.
Not a fan of excessive rain or getting slammed with 50mph winds — I work on rooftops & it smacks even harder then — but if we can have about 66% of the rain we're having now in the summer I'll be thankful, high winds or not. Summer 2022 sticks out in my mind any time I start getting annoyed by 'bad' weather. Let me get stuck in the rain & soaked before I have to step on grass that nearly crumbles to dust because it hasn't rained in 3 months.
Callery pear trees make poor wind breakers. As people destroy old growth forests and replace with Asian invasives, the wind will have a much greater effect on structures.
I noticed the same thing. I've been in central Jersey for 10 yrs. Last 2 yrs the wind has been so noticeable. My husband and I joke it's just in our town. When we go next town over there is no wind.
Dude it’s every other night. I lived in New Brunswick for 15 years, never noticed…been in hunterdon county for 5 and I feel like my house is under attack bi weekly.
All the yuppies moving down and knocking down every tree in sight for fear of it falling on their McMansion have turned everywhere into a wind tunnel since there’s no trees to block the gusts
My understanding from conversations with a meteorologist is that the low level jet stream has changed over NJ. Not the upper one. It’s probably similar to the winter upper jet stream dropping down and giving us the arctic blasts, which by the way was predicted by a Rutgers professor 10 years ago - she was the first to predict it. So what happens is we get these huge rain blasts with fronts moving in immediately followed by huge winds which evaporate much of the water. It seems today that the wind blast came in with the warm front too. Perhaps El Niño is mostly behind these local changes ? Anyway it’s probably the new normal.
It’s early spring. It has been very windy at this time of year for the many decades I have lived in New Jersey. Every year. When I was in Little League. When I coached my kids. When my grandson played his first game last night and his second this afternoon. It’s likely to continue.
The effects of the changing climate are beginning to be felt. We will all experience more extremes. It’s good OP is aware most of us aren’t in tune with what’s going on and more flooding or heavier winds don’t even register.
Obviously mother nature's pissed. Gotta tone down the civil unrest and immense hatred every human has towards one another. My predictions point to a cataclysmic event in November when this gets "kicked up another notch"
Agreed to the wind in NJ ! Never e er had wi d and huge storms like this I. 60 years We were at a softball game in Morristown , I swear the wind almost blew us over a few time
When you buy your own house and have to pay for repairs you tend to notice the rain, snow, wind, sun, critters, cracks, etc much more. Welcome to the club.
Not delusional. I lost count of all the high wind days we had.
Seems like very week I am picking up on branches and searching for blown away garbage cans
I can't remember the last time I was able to build a fire in my backyard
This is what catastrophic climate change looks like. Downvoted for bringing facts into the conversation? Or do you just want to live your life oblivious to the damage WE have caused?
It's definitely a thing and has been ramping up for quite a while. Bought a house in the Bayshore area in 2007 and the home owners insurance carrier that had been covering that house would no longer write new policies because of weather pattern changes & specifically hurricane damage. State Farm was willing to write the policy but said there had just been a new map drawn up which put us in the Wind Map at our location and so needed additional insurance as such. Lately it seems this is really going to be causing some damage. Grateful we have not had a problem for the last 17 years.
I'm a 300 pound 6 foot 3 guy and I was getting bounced into shit today, and even into some MORON thinking he can race me through the crosswalk. (guy was in an suv, I had the light)
THAT was not a fun shouting match...
It's an El Niño year. This amplified the pacific jet stream up into the mid Atlantic.
Coincidentally ill niño is also from New Jersey
🤘🤘
TIL
Can’t wait for this horseshit to be over
Ready for snow in May?
HELL YEAH
What does that mean?
The way I understand it, warmer than usual Pacific Ocean temperatures (it's cyclical) change the atmosphere in our hemisphere, which affects the path of the pacific jet stream, bringing us some of the weather we're feeling. I also just read the El Niño is winding down and likely to transition to a La Niña fall which means more active hurricanes in the Caribbean (which can make their way up the coast to NJ).
So what you're saying is that this is not the year for a Caribbean vacation because the way things are going, there's a hurricane.
Use travel insurance. You're not guaranteed a next year.
El niño is weakening. Oceanographers are predicting La Niña will develop this summer.
I’m pretty sure 2012 was a La Niña year, which is also when Sandy made direct landfall in NJ.
And get ready for everyone to start saying climate change is the cause.
When we have hurricanes going from Cat 2 to Cat 4 literally over night before they make landfall because the ocean in the Caribbean is over 100, something it’s never been before, it is because of the acceleration of climate caused by human impact.

What’s your Ph.D. in?
No Ph.D but do you really need one to make this deduction? For what it’s worth I have 3 Master’s degrees?
Aren’t we still exiting an ice age?
Yes, which would happen over thousands of years instead of the rapid warming we're seeing from industrialization.
Blame China. Their carbon footprint is bigger than US, EU, and India combined.
dude just stop commenting. You're goddamn brain dead.

Climate change is making the weather more extreme.
It's Spanish for the niño.
It's Spanish for......the Nino!
It means the weather is gonna suck and be unpredictable all year
Who’s El Niño
Jesus. He's a vintner in mexico
A vintner?
His specialty is turning water into wine
It's Spanish for "the Niño"
All other tropical storms must bow before El Niño!
As if niño is an English word…

Yeah turbulence has been wild this yr.
Yes! I’ve been so nauseous from all the wind turbulence this year, can’t even think straight on those flights
For those out of the loop, what should I already know about an El Nino year? I know nothing about it.
Plus climate change

Thanks for finally answering the question.
El Niño stands for ‘the nino’
This is America 🇺🇸, stop speaking Spanish! It is The Nino.
If you gonna translate go all the way: “The Boy”
Gracias nino
de nada chico
This👆
El Niño. That's Spanish for "The Niño"
All other tropical storms must bow to El Niño!
The boy
The Christ Child, specifically.
As one who for many years had a business with inflatables, I can tell you it absolutely has gotten windier the last several years.
People are bringing their blowup dolls out of the house these days?
Not as often as they used to, sadly.
You're that guy in the HOV lane from 20 years ago, aren't you?
No, I was literally just saying the same exact thing this morning to someone. I also feel like it’s more rainy/dreary/cloudy more than ever the last two years as well.
Less snow = more rain.
Facts. I gave trees and shrubs to plant. I haven’t had a chance to because it’s literally raining every other day.
I just wanted to chill n grill today, but it's shitty and sucks out, so I'm gonna rot on the couch instead
Upvoted as an OG Shaolin/PH'er 
You can plant in the rain. It’s known to have been done. Come on!!
Hopefully you can plant them soon!
> I **gave** trees and shrubs to plant. What word were you going for here?
Probably have
Hotter temps mean more evaporation and more energy in the weather system, so rain and storms will be more frequent and more intense.
Unfortunately none of the hotter temps have really hit us. Last summer was cold and rainy
You are aware that humans have irreversibly destroyed the climate to the point where conditions are no longer predictable and human existence is going to be threatened? We're two years away from locking ourselves into an even more catastrophic path.
No kidding. Never said climate change didn’t exist, neither did OP.
Didn't say you did, but by both of your comments it seems like you are both unsure why this is happening and/or surprised by it.
Not surprised one bit about the facts of it, but sure I will admit it is surprising the speed of how fast it is occurring. Also, I didn’t downvote you (concerning your other comment below), so not sure where your assumptions are coming from.

Thank God you're here to enlighten everyone.
Whats with the attitude?
Preachy people annoy me.
Yeah, countless species going extinct and our entire climate being destroyed, including landmasses the size of entire states being destroyed, flooded or otherwise uninhabited due to OUR callous behavior annoys me.
You sound insufferable

That's the cost of living in a "social" society. Paying for things a la carte creates a world where the wealthy have benefits, and the poor don't. Can you imagine what it would be like if you had to pay more to have fire service, or police service, or to have your road paved.

> Can you imagine what it would be like if you had to pay more to have fire service, or police service, or to have your road paved. Can you imagine what it would be like if the question mark wasn't invented?
That is a great recipe for a really fucking stupid population in a decade, and we'll all suffer from that.
A lot of cutting down of foliage also may have you feeling it’s windier. People gotta plant trees FFS
Didn't it not rain for like 6 months last year?

Wind was nuts today.
Dude it’s every other night. I lived in New Brunswick for 15 years, never noticed…been in hunterdon county for 5 and I feel like my house is under attack bi weekly.
Cabbage was on sale
Definitely weird weather. This is what an unpredictable climate looks like.
I noticed this, so I bought a kite to fly with my kiddo. It was pretty great.
You’re not crazy. So frequently it’s like 10-15mph winds the past few years
It’s only the four horsemen of the apocalypse
All the trees being knocked down could contribute
All the yuppies moving down and knocking down every tree in sight for fear of it falling on their McMansion have turned everywhere into a wind tunnel since there’s no trees to block the gusts

Rain also, we get more rain nowadays
Try Jersey City sometime, I swear it must be the way the buildings are lined up. It's always so windy here!
Must be those windmills
It’s early spring. It has been very windy at this time of year for the many decades I have lived in New Jersey. Every year. When I was in Little League. When I coached my kids. When my grandson played his first game last night and his second this afternoon. It’s likely to continue.
Or that’s it’s been cloudy and overcast for the last 6 months 🙃
Ironically they are talking about building offshore wind mills off of the jersey shore coast over the past few months
Been talking about this for some time now. It seems as if it's windy/breezy everyday.
The effects of the changing climate are beginning to be felt. We will all experience more extremes. It’s good OP is aware most of us aren’t in tune with what’s going on and more flooding or heavier winds don’t even register.
Welcome to spring in NJ. We lucked out big time the last two spring seasons with it being relatively dry.
Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earths surface. So you will get wind when the temperature changes somewhat quickly. So there’s that.
Obviously mother nature's pissed. Gotta tone down the civil unrest and immense hatred every human has towards one another. My predictions point to a cataclysmic event in November when this gets "kicked up another notch"
Sorry, my fault, I got Windy Bee from the Wind Shrine in BSS
Atlantic county here, yea, winds awful, much worse then the last few years
I just said this very thing to my husband. I don't know which im more sick of the heavy wind or constant rain. Ugh!

Oh yeah, my sump goes 24/7 too…I just thought that’s how these things work
Taco night
Damn You beat me to it. I was going to put this question first
Hey get ready for tonight shits about be cool 🤪🍺😎
As an avid surf fisherman this fucking sucks
When you buy your own house and have to pay for repairs you tend to notice the rain, snow, wind, sun, critters, cracks, etc much more. Welcome to the club.
Not delusional. I lost count of all the high wind days we had. Seems like very week I am picking up on branches and searching for blown away garbage cans I can't remember the last time I was able to build a fire in my backyard
This is what catastrophic climate change looks like. Downvoted for bringing facts into the conversation? Or do you just want to live your life oblivious to the damage WE have caused?
It's definitely a thing and has been ramping up for quite a while. Bought a house in the Bayshore area in 2007 and the home owners insurance carrier that had been covering that house would no longer write new policies because of weather pattern changes & specifically hurricane damage. State Farm was willing to write the policy but said there had just been a new map drawn up which put us in the Wind Map at our location and so needed additional insurance as such. Lately it seems this is really going to be causing some damage. Grateful we have not had a problem for the last 17 years.
Love the wind
It blows
Jersey City closed a street to vehicle traffic to create a pedestrian plaza and it has had UNTOLLED SIDE EFFECTS.
God decided wind for such
I'm in an apartment and I notice it more, weather is changing up here.
I thought the earthquake the other day was just wind with how crazy it's been this year.
Welcome to spring
Bro it was windy all fall and winter too.
Sucks
This is why we go to school, so we can understand how things work.
Whoa condescending much?
Climate CHANGE.
I'm a 300 pound 6 foot 3 guy and I was getting bounced into shit today, and even into some MORON thinking he can race me through the crosswalk. (guy was in an suv, I had the light) THAT was not a fun shouting match...
"I get out of the car each time I look around, slaps of wind, I scream always. What is this? What is going on? Lol. Been saying this a lot lately."
…….wat? Who are you quoting, and why are the sentences fragmented so weirdly? I scream always?!? What the hell are you on about?
Meth?+!? + Jersey.
In Summit atm, shit sounds crazy outside
I hate it, all the goddamn time.
The wind has been crazy! We’re sick of it!
Why are you sick of wind lol
