EL NIÑO
NOAA declares El Nino watch, with large-scale atmospheric and oceanic changes being detected for the next ENSO phase.
El Niño is the cycle's warm phase when ocean temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean rise and there is more precipitation. El Niño causes the Pacific jet stream to move south and spread further east.
