El Nino is a term used to describe a weather pattern that sets up in the Tropical Pacific Ocean. So you may ask why does it matter to me and should it matter to me? The answer is yes because it impacts each and every one of us on Earth.

Researchers are tracking Indian Ocean climate patterns with the possibility that they will improve early-warning systems for the El Nino phenomenon, which could save countless lives and billions of dollars lost each year to the severe weather it causes.

Scientists believe El Nino may have assisted Magellan’s first trip around the world nearly 500 years ago.
