El Niño By Raphaela

An El Niño is when the ocean becomes much warmer leading to strong rains and sometimes

snow. By now it does not matter if it get stronger or weaker it is going to happen. NASA shows that the water in the western pacific is getting colder and that it is warming in the Eastern. Meaning the El Niño will probably hit this winter. Reservoirs are near to empty, but the warming of the pacific ocean could help by causing an El Niño. Rain might help the drought but brings the risk of huge storms and floods that could cause chaos and destruction. There are upsides and downsides but the state needs rain.

It is going to be raining cats and dogs so don’t step in a poodle.
