Hillsborough County Extends State of Emergency as Dengue Outbreak Persists, Reaching 468 Infections

Hillsborough County Administrator Bonnie Wise has extended a local state of emergency due to an ongoing dengue fever outbreak, which has now resulted in 468 infections since July. This extension, valid through November 19, comes as the areas of concern for disease transmission continue to spread across more than half of Hillsborough County. The Florida Department of Health reported a decrease in new locally acquired dengue cases under investigation statewide, but the Tampa Bay area, particularly Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties, remains a hotspot. Hillsborough County alone recorded 61 new cases in the latest reporting period (November 1-7), contributing to the state's total of 624 cases since July. An 80-year-old Tampa woman died in September due to the illness. Pinellas County also saw a significant increase with 29 new cases, bringing its total to 109 since August, while Pasco County reported two new cases, totaling six.

Super El Niño Is Here: What It Could Mean for US Winter

Super El Niño Is Here: What It Could Mean for US Winter

Super El Niño is nearing official designation, with NOAA's Climate Prediction Center expected to confirm that Pacific Ocean temperatures reached at least 2°C above average for three consecutive months. The powerful climate pattern has already influenced the 2026 hurricane season, helping fuel increased tropical activity in the Eastern Pacific while wind shear limited Atlantic development. This winter, it could strengthen the Pacific jet stream and steer more storms across the southern United States, from Southern California to Florida. However, forecasters say it is too early to know exactly how this winter will unfold.

NOAA Predicts 60% Chance of Historic El Niño This Winter, Shifting U.S. Weather Patterns

The National Weather Service's (NWS) Climate Prediction Center announced a 60% chance that the current El Niño event will be record-breaking, surpassing any in the past 75 years. This climate phenomenon, characterized by a periodic warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean, is intensifying, with ocean temperatures continuing to rise, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The NWS indicated that there is a greater than 79% chance of a strong or very strong El Niño persisting through January-March 2027. Forecasters classify an El Niño as 'very strong' when temperatures in the key Niño-3.4 region of the Pacific are at least 2°C above average over a three-month period; this region is currently about 2.5°C above average. This strengthening El Niño is expected to bring extreme weather globally, including drought in some areas and heavy rain and flooding in others. The impacts are already being felt worldwide, with projections of increased heat-related deaths and ongoing droughts in ...
