This is a pretty interesting feat, as typically with an El Niño, you have warmer water on the east Pacific and also lower wind shear, lending to easier development of stronger storms. Kristy is ...

Hurricane Kristy strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane in the Pacific Ocean on Thursday evening, becoming the first hurricane to do so without an El Niño since Hurricane Celia in 2010. This is a ...

Climate troublemakers El Niño and La Niña have been around for a long time. A really, really long time. A new study says the dance between El Niño and its counterpart, La Niña, was present on ...

El Niño and La Niña events occurred 250 million years ago and were often stronger than today. Researchers found that ocean temperatures and surface winds influenced these oscillations, offering ...

The El Niño event, a huge blob of warm ocean water in the tropical Pacific Ocean that can change rainfall patterns around the globe, isn't just a modern phenomenon. A new modeling study from a ...

New modeling research has shown that the natural global climate phenomena known as El Niño and its cold counterpart, La Niña, have been occurring for the last 250 million years. Although these ...

During an El Niño pattern, trade winds typically shift, pushing warmer waters of the Pacific Ocean towards the Americas, according to NOAA. This then pushes the Polar Jet Stream further northward ...
