Pacific Basin drought baffles meteorologists
Hawaii researchers study a Pacific Basin drought that has Maui and Hawaii shivering while other islands and Japan face dry spells. Dr. Colin Ramage of the University of Hawaii notes a recurring 15 to 17 year cycle with rising surface temperatures in 1971 and a sharp drop in 1972, linking sea temperatures to rainfall patterns but lacking a clear trigger. The Eastern Pacific remains a key focus as forecasts suggest heavy rains may follow this cycle this winter.
