WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Most of the United States will see hotter than normal temperatures this summer because of the "La Nina" weather system, which will remain in force through August, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

A statement on Wednesday from NOAA said La Nina could also bring drought to much of the U.S. Midwest and Great Plains regions. A previous NOAA forecast had also predicted drought for much of the Southeastern United States.

"La Nina" is the name given to a weather system which periodically brings colder-than-average water temperatures to the tropical areas of the Pacific Ocean.

Equation:
Sunspots = Solar Flares = Magnetic Shift = Shifting Ocean and Jet Stream Currents = Extreme Weather
