El Nino is a strange weather change. In Spanish, El Nino means the Christ child since it often occurs around Christmas, from December to March, to be exact. Once every four years, the worlds largest weather system over the Pacific Ocean changes. The winds that usually blow from East to West stop, then blow in the opposite direction. This change makes the ocean currents reverse. The warm and high water in Indonesia gets colder and drops to lower level. The coasts of Southern America receive higher levels of warm ocean water. Terrible rainstorms cause floods in the South American coastal countries. At the same time, dry weather and low water level cause drought in the Western Pacific nations. The changes in winds and ocean currents make the climate abnormal. In 1982, thousands of people lost their lives and thousands of others were left homeless when a terrible El Nino occurred.
