El Nino is just a Peruvian Event
Permalink
As Peruvian for centuries El Nino is a weather event just focused on the Peruvian coast.It was named by Peruvians (native fishermen) right after Spaniards conquerors arrived because it usually appears near Christmas. The event that modern climatologist nominate El Nino for warming waters on the Central Pacific is a complete different event. Last year there was a big "Nino" for the Central Pacific but for us nothing happened. We prepared for a big event spending millions of dollars and nothing affected us. Naming the events as Nino 3-4, Nino 1-2 are confusing instead of preventing and teaching people. You shouldn't call El Nino for The Central Pacific event.
