What is El Nino?

El Niño is a weather
phenomenon that occurs
every few years in the
Pacific Ocean.
It refers to the warming of
the water in the eastern
Pacific near the equator.
 How is El Niño
created?

El Niño appears when

normal Pacific trade winds
weaken or reverse.
This allows warm water
masses to move from the
west to the east of the
Pacific and warm the water
in the east.
Effects of El Niño
 El Niño can cause extreme
weather conditions around
the world, including
drought, floods and
storms.
In some areas, the effects
of El Niño can lead to crop
failure and water
shortages. El Niño can also
affect fishing as fish
populations can move to
warmer or colder waters.
What can be done to
prepare for El Niño?
 Scientists and
meteorologists monitor the
weather phenomenon and
provide forecasts to alert
the public and prepare for
the effects of El Niño.

Some countries have

developed contingency
plans and precautionary
measures to prepare for
potential El Niño impacts.

Conclusion
 El Niño is a major
weather phenomenon that
affects the world.
By understanding El Niño
and preparing for its
effects, people can better
prepare for and minimize
the effects of extreme
weather.
