A worldwide climate change, caused by an increase in the Pacific Ocean’s temperature
Real World Example
Imagine you're at a party, and someone accidentally turns up the thermostat, causing the entire room to heat up. Just as the rising temperature in that room affects everyone inside, making them uncomfortable and sweaty, an increase in the Pacific Ocean's temperature during El Niño affects weather patterns across the globe. In this analogy, the thermostat represents the ocean's temperature, and the room's uncomfortable guests symbolize the worldwide climate changes triggered by El Niño.
