What are features (weather that occurs in the U.S.) associated with an El Nino?

Question

THANKS if you can help!!! ;)

Answer 1

Positive effects of El nino

-------------------------------------

El Niño  also has positive effects; especially in North America. There are less hurricanes on the Atlantic and tornado's in the US. The North East of America is warmer than normal -- so less to burn -- for the polar jet stream can't get very far south during an El Niño.

California has more rain than normal, but it falls more equal - like real British drizzle - so there's not so much damage to the road. The Californian fishermen catch suddenly the most exotic tropical fish, in marvellous colours -- normally these fish do not come  so far north.

Severe weather

-------------------------

During El Niño, the jet stream is oriented from west to east across the southern portion of the United States, making the region more susceptible to severe weather outbreaks. During La Niña, the jet stream and severe weather is likely to be farther north than normal.

hope this helps!

Answer 2

If you're talking about the South Pacific current "El Nino" there is only one. It's a strip of oddly tempered water southeast of Hawai'i that plays games with the whether here in the U.S. by affecting the tempature of the air above it.
