With winter just beginning, TravelInsurance.com reminds travelers to stay protected as Pacific weather phenomenon weighs on the season ahead with warm weather in the northeast and flash flooding on the west coast.
New York, N.Y. – January 08, 2016
Cited as the most powerful El Niño in 50 years by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this year’s winter forecast is predicted to have a strong effect across the entire Western Hemisphere and as a result, may severely impact winter travel plans. With winter just beginning and El Niño still packing plenty of punch, leading travel insurance comparison website TravelInsurance.com urges consumers to be proactive and purchase trip insurance to protect their investment in seasonal travel.
The impact of El Niño on seasonal travel by region includes:

– Sparse snow on slopes in the Pacific Northwest where it is expected to be drier and warmer than usual
– Above average temperatures in the Northeast with increased precipitation
– Below average temperatures expected in the Southeast with heavy precipitation levels
– Flooding and extreme weather predicted around the globe with South America, Europe, Mexico and Australia all expected to see impact
