El Nino

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a family barbecue where the grill unexpectedly flares up, causing the heat to spread and make everyone uncomfortable. This is similar to El Niño, where a rise in the Pacific Ocean's temperature acts like that flare-up, disrupting the usual climate patterns globally. Just as the sudden increase in heat from the grill alters the comfort of everyone at the barbecue, the warming of the Pacific affects weather conditions worldwide, causing unusual climate shifts.
