El Niño is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the temperature of the Pacific, the zone that touches South America, becomes warmer than usual.

It is one of the most important climatic events on the planet, these events occur cyclically, that is, that they recur at specific times, between 3 and 7 years.

At the top of the atmosphere the wind moves in the opposite direction to the elysian winds, the result of this effect is a system of air circulation, the Pacific Ocean absorbs a lot of solar heat, this heat greatly increases the temperature of The oceanic surface, which is moved by the Elysian winds, these warmer waters accumulate near the north of Australia and the coast of Indonesia, and here the warm, humid air is evaporated, creating clouds of rain. El Niño begins with a strong fall in the force of the trade winds that run through the surface of the ocean and then the system of air circulation stops. The waters of the surface of the ocean are no longer displacements from east to west and therefore begin to move towards South America, hot and humid air rise.


La Niña is the positive phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation and is associated with cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
During a period of La Niña, the sea surface temperature across the equatorial Eastern Central Pacific Ocean will be lower than normal by 3 to 5 °C. In the United States, an appearance of La Niña persists for at least five months. It has extensive effects on the weather in North America, even affecting the Atlantic Hurricane Season.
