What are El Nino and La Nina? - NOAA's National Ocean Service
28 Jan 2026 at 3:01pm
El Niño and La Niña are two opposing climate patterns that break these normal conditions. Scientists call these phenomena the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. El Niño and La Niña can both have global impacts on weather, wildfires, ecosystems, and economies.

El Niño isn?t all bad; some of the changes it causes in atmospheric circulation can reduce the chances of severe hurricanes in the North Atlantic. But many other changes are highly destructive and dangerous, so advance warning of El Niño?s approach is extremely important for emergency preparation.
Coastal Flooding in California: What You Need to Know
25 Jan 2026 at 8:02am
El Niño: El Niño causes changing weather patterns and warmer surface waters in the Pacific, which can lead to increases in sea level. NOAA predicts that this year's El Niño, among the strongest on record, will peak this winter.
El Niño made a nuisance of itself in 2015; caused tidal flooding in ...
21 Jan 2026 at 3:52pm
In some cities, the days of nuisance flooding exceeded trends and broke records, especially in the southeastern U.S and Gulf Coast, which may be due to a strong El Niño compounding already rising sea levels.

The distribution and timing of floods and droughts is most profoundly affected by the cycle of El Niño events, particularly in the tropics and over much of the mid-latitudes of Pacific-rim countries.
What is a Rossby wave? - NOAA's National Ocean Service
25 Jan 2026 at 4:16pm
Along with rising sea levels, King Tides, and the effects of El Niño, oceanic Rossby waves contribute to high tides and coastal flooding in some regions of the world.

Increased sea surface temperatures, decreased sea level and increased salinity from altered rainfall can all result from weather patterns such as El Niño. Together these conditions can have devastating effects on a coral?s physiology.

BILLY SWEET: Well, unfortunately El Niño historically has not been a good thing in terms of the frequency of nuisance flooding. In many places it compounds the effect of sea level rise to begin with.
