El Niño translates to “the little boy” in Spanish and, together with La Niña (the little girl), has the potential to wreak havoc on our weather patterns. But what do you really know about it?

| Good reasons why you should care about El Ninõ. |
Last month our friends at the Bureau of Meteorology (aka da BOM) raised their El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Outlook to El Niño WATCH; meaning that the likelihood of El Niño forming this spring has increased from approximately 25% to 50%. And today, some of our climate scientists had a paper published in Nature looking at the complexity of El Niño (you know it must be complex when even the experts haven’t got it completely pegged yet!).
So with the possibility that El Niño is on its way we thought we’d take a look at this climate phenomenon, how it’s likely to impact you, and why it’s so tricky to predict.
