El Nino. Computer artwork showing the path and effects of the El Nino climate pattern. El Nino is the warm phase of the El Nino/La Nina-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) that occurs across the tropical Pacific Ocean roughly every five years. The ENSO affects weather systems across the world, bringing extreme weather such as floods and droughts. El Nino generally causes drier conditions (sun symbols) in Australia and South-East Asia, and wetter and warmer conditions (rain drops) in the Americas.
