Global climate phenomenon
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a global climate phenomenon that emerges from variation in winds and sea surface temperatures over the tropical Pacific Ocean. Those variations have an irregular pattern but do have some appearance of cycles. The occurrence of ENSO is not easily predictable. It affects the climate of much of the tropics and subtropics, and has links (teleconnections) to higher-latitude regions of the world. The warming phase of the sea surface temperature is known as "El Niño" and the cooling phase as "La Niña".

NOAA’s October update points to a strengthening El Niño through early 2027
A powerful El Niño pattern is bringing warmer, wetter conditions to Iowa that will delay fall fertilizer applications for farmers trying to time nutrient applications correctly.
A major update from the Climate Prediction Center shows a "very strong" El Niño now has a 70% chance of exceeding all previous ones on record as it continues to strengthen through the winter. Northern California could see double its normal monthly rainfall for either December, January or February.
