El Nino is the slight warming of the waters in the Pacific Ocean and is known to affect the weather around the world. Peru is one of the countries that is often struck by flooding during an El Nino event, so this time the government has pre-empted a disaster and is warning people of an imminent threat.
El Nino is triggered by a change in wind speed across the Pacific. The prevailing winds usually flow from east to west, which pushes the warm surface waters of the tropical Pacific Ocean towards Indonesia. This allows cool water to well up around the coast of South America. The cool water is rich in nutrients and fish, providing rich pickings for the Peruvian fishing industry.
