Guardian: The US National Weather Service on Thursday proclaimed the phenomenon is now in place. It? involves a warming of a certain patch of the central Pacific that changes weather patterns worldwide, associated with flooding in some places, droughts elsewhere, a generally warmer globe, and fewer Atlantic hurricanes. El Nios are usually so important that economists even track them because of how they affect commodities. But this is a weak, weird and late version of El Nio, so do not? expect too many...

Conversation: Its confirmed: 2014 produced the highest global temperatures since records began in the 1880s. As if thats not cause enough for concern, this year threatens to see the return of El Nio, which like some enraged climate-driven Godzilla, could emerge from the depths of the South Pacific and lay waste to entire regions. While the effects can be felt around the world, it is nations bordering the Pacific that are most affected by this natural phenomenon which puts parts of the Earths climate into...
Study: East Pacific hurricanes peak 2-3 years after El Nio

Summit Voice: As a giant pump that redistributes global heat, it`s no surprise that El Nio affects the formation and timing of hurricanes. In general, meteorologists see that El Nio conditions sometimes suppress hurricane activity in the Atlantic. But less is known about how the cyclical surges of warm water at the equator affect Pacific hurricanes. A new study suggests there may a delayed reaction, with peak hurricane in the northeastern Pacific happening two or three years after an El Nio peak. The climate...

Blue and Green: The weather phenomenon El Nio could soon be declared, according to meteorologists. The climate variation pattern can have a huge impact on weather and as a result can affect farming and the occurrence of extreme weather events. The El Nio southern oscillation (ENSO) is a stream of warm ocean water that occurs in South America and cause climate changes such as heavy rains, extreme weather events and alteration to the Pacifics ecosystem. The phenomenon has been linked to worsening economic damage...

Pacific Island Countries Face El Nio Extreme Weather
2014-11-24 17:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: An abnormal warming of surface ocean waters, known as the El Nio effect, forecast for the coming six months is threatening extreme weather conditions for Pacific island states` industry and infrastructure, the United Nations warned Friday. A joint warning issued by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System for Africa and Asia (RIMES) says the Pacific region`s wet season during the next six months will...
