El Nino is a strange weather change. It was first noticed by fishermen coming from Spanish ports
in the Pacific in the 17th century. In Spanish, it means the Christ child since it often occurs around
Christmas. It begins in December and continues until March. Once every four years, the world’s
largest weather system over the Pacific Ocean changes. The winds that usually blow from East to
West stop, then blow in the opposite direction. This change makes the ocean currents reverse. The
warm and high water in Indonesia gets colder and drops to a lower level. The coasts of Southern
America receive higher levels of warm ocean water. Terrible rainstorms cause floods in the South
American coastal countries. At the same time, dry weather and low water cause drought in the
Western Pacific nations. The changes in winds and the ocean currents make the climate change. In
1982, thousands of people lost their lives and thousands of others were left homeless when a terrible
El Nino occurred. Nowadays, scientists nowadays are using satellites to observe the atmosphere and
the ocean so as to predict what will happen and prevent the death and destruction.
