EL NIO PHENOMENON 2015

MEETING

What is El Nio?
- is an abnormal weather pattern that is caused by the
warming of the Pacific Ocean near the equator, off the
coast of South America.
This occurs when the normal trade winds weaken (or
even reverse), which lets the warm water that is usually
found in the western Pacific flow instead towards the
east.
This warm water displaces the cooler water that is
normally found near the surface of the eastern Pacific,
setting off atmospheric changes that affect weather
patterns in many parts of the world.

A temperature increase of least 0.9 F (0.5 C) needs to

occur in the waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean near
the equator for it to be considered an El Nio year.
Although El Nio does not occur in a perfectly regular
pattern, it seems to happen every 2 to 7 years.
Following an El Nio,
occurs, called La Nia.

an

opposite

phenomenon

During La Nia, the eastern Pacific Ocean experiences

cooler than normal temperatures around the equator.
-Study.com

Status of El Nio
A mature strong El Nio is now present in the

tropical Pacific Ocean;

Likely to strengthen further before the end of year

2015, and may last until March-April-May 2016

season;

This 2015-16 El Nio event will potentially be

among the four strongest since 1950 (1972-73,

1982-83, 1997-98).

Summary
Consensus ENSO prediction indicate continuation of
strong El Nio conditions during the August-October 2015
season in progress, with the event lasting into MAM 2016.
Significant reduction in rainfall is predicted beginning
September 2015 to February 2016 over most parts of the
country;
Moderate to severe drought conditions will be likely
during the forecast period;
Slightly warmer than average temperature is expected
during the forecast period; slightly cooler than average
over mountainous Luzon;
3-5 tropical cyclones may develop/enter the Philippine
Area of Responsibility (PAR) until Feb. 2016;

Actions to be taken under hot

weather
conditions
1. When engaged in outdoor work or activities, pay
attention to health conditions. Bring along water and
sunscreen.
2. Reduce prolonged exposure under sunlight.
3. Ensure good air ventilation in indoor environment.
4. Beware of health and well being of elderly or
persons with chronic medical conditions.
