What are El Nino and La Nina?

During normal conditions in the Pacific ocean, trade winds blow west along the equator, taking warm water from South America towards Asia. To replace that warm water, cold water rises from the depths — a process called upwelling. El Niño and La Niña are two opposing climate patterns that break these normal conditions. Scientists call these phenomena the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. El Niño and La Niña can both have global impacts on weather, wildfires, ecosystems, and economies. Episodes of El Niño and La Niña typically last nine to 12 months, but can sometimes last for years. El Niño and La Niña events occur every two to seven years, on average, but they don’t occur on a regular schedule. Generally, El Niño occurs more frequently than La Niña.



So, nobody apparently knows.

I think it's all made up, like all other weather and climate science.

No hurricanes in the Atlantic this year?  Now that’s climate change.

But a quickly escalating hurricane off the western coast of Mexico, in the Pacific.  Thing went from a tropical storm to a Cat 5 in less than a day.  Seems like I hardly ever hear of hurricanes in the Pacific striking western North America.  

An El Nino thing, maybe?

There was one that blasted Cabo about 10 years ago. We were there shortly after.

Western North America could use a couple hurricanes to help fill up Lake Mead and Lake Powell,

Why do we have these el Nino cycles?  I can't find an explanation.
