EL Nino and La Nina
Spanish for little boy and little girl.
Unusually warm and cold waters off the coast of Chile. Has to do with water from the pacific being forced up towards that coast. Goes in multi year cycles from warm coastal waters to cold coastal water west side of south America. Apparently has a big effect on our precipitation in the north east but not sure it has anything to do with our warm weather this year in the north east.
Its also portuguese . I know cause my uncle used to call my mother Nina meaning little girl (He was older than her)
