<u>El Niño is a climatic occurrence that happens every few years (usually 3 to 5), and it presents the warming of the water on the surface of the Pacific ocean.</u><u> It comes with higher air pressure on the western, and lower air pressure on the eastern Pacifics.</u>
With this comes various weather changes and occurrences, some positive and some negative. Two of them are:
<u>In the south of the United States, El Niño brings extensive rainfalls during September and November. </u><u>The rainfalls can help the fertility of the soil, but also can cause flooding in these parts.</u>
<u>El Niño affects the equatorial Pacific region and its weather by causing a warmer climate during the following spring and summer. </u><u>The summers following El Niño have proven to be some of the hottest ones in history, resulting in the forest fires and droughts.</u>
