El Niño is a climate pattern that is declared when monthly sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean are measured above normal, for at least five consecutive overlapping three-month periods. This ocean warming has impacts on global temperature, weather patterns, and the life that lives in the ocean.

How does El Niño typically alter Earth’s weather patterns? Shang-Ping Xie (Professor of Climate Science and Physical Oceanography, Roger Revelle Chair in Environmental Science):In a typical El Niño year, India’s monsoon rainfall from June to September will decrease and may cause drought conditions. The second stop would be around Australia and Indonesia. They’re also likely to get dry conditions, and perhaps wildfires during their spring season (North America’s fall months).

El Niño is defined by the persistence of warm water in the Pacific Ocean at the equator. This warm water has impacts on global temperature, weather systems and marine life.

NOAA declares an El Niño when temperatures in the equatorial Pacific are 0.5°C (0.9°F) above average for several consecutive months.
