What are El Niño and La Niña?

[Penelope]

El Niño can affect our weather significantly. The warmer waters cause the Pacific jet stream to move south of its neutral position. With this shift, areas in the northern U.S. and Canada are dryer and warmer than usual. But in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Southeast, these periods are wetter than usual and have increased flooding.

What are El Nino and La Nina?

El El Nino and La Nina are complex weather patterns resulting from variations in ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific.
