The El Nino Weather condition HAS returned. HOWEVER, Officials at the United States National Weather Service say El Nino is weaker than usual this year. El Nino is a change in the Atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. It happens every four to five years.
El Nino is Spanish for "the Little one" or "the Christ Child." The Weather condition is Called El Nino Because ITS Effects Increase in December, at about Christmas time.
Normally, Water Temperatures in the Western Pacific Ocean near the End of the Increase year. This causes more rainfall in Indonesia, Australia and other nearby places. At the same time, cold ocean water causes less rainfall in the eastern Pacific Ocean, near South America. The opposite happens during El Nino. Pacific Ocean temperatures increase near South America , Causing unusually High amounts of rainfall there. And, El Nino Causes Dry Weather in Indonesia and Australia.
A strong El Nino CAN Severely Affect the Weather All over the World. The Last Powerful El Nino was in Nineteen-Ninety-Seven and nineteen- Ninety-eight. It Caused Major Floods around the World. Also El Nino led to Extremely Dry Weather in Some Areas. Reports say the Weather condition Caused the Deaths of about Twenty-four-thousand People.
So Experts say having a weaker El Nino this year is good news. Weather scientists say rainfall has been higher than usual in South America. The experts say the effects of El Nino will begin in November in the United States. Drier weather is expected in the northwestern states. The northern states may have a warmer winter. But, scientists say El Nino will not be strong enough to prevent this year's powerful storms in the Atlantic Ocean.
