What is El Niño?
It is the warm phase of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a cycle that shifts between cooler and warmer ocean states.
Normal east-to-west trade winds weaken or reverse into westerly winds.Warm surface water flows eastward toward the Americas instead of staying pooled near Asia and Australia.
It recurs irregularly every two to seven years and usually lasts nine to twelve months.

why???

Global and Regional Impacts

Global Temperatures: It releases massive amounts of heat into the atmosphere, raising global land and sea temperatures. A powerful "super" El Niño developing in late 2026 is projected to significantly increase extreme heat days worldwide.
United States: It typically brings milder winters to the northern US and wetter, stormier conditions across the southern tier and California.
International Weather: It often causes heavy rainfall and flooding in parts of South America while triggering severe droughts in Indonesia, Australia, and parts of South Asia.

yup, I prefer milder winters

What's "winter?"

It's that one or two months or so where we put pants on and don't use our pools much.

 the best steak you've had

Kinda presumptuous to invite people over to my house

But I'm game.

So why do El Niño cycles occur?

Nobody knows.

But, but...

It is irrefutable that we are all gonna die if we're not forced to drive battery powered cars.
