Peru has a climate called "El Nino". Why such a strange name?

El Nino, from Spanish, is also called El Nino phenomenon.

El Nino is a word used by fishermen in Ecuador and Peru to describe abnormal climate. El Nino mainly refers to the tropical ocean in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean, where the sea water temperature rises abnormally, resulting in corresponding changes in the world climate. One area may be too dry, and another area may be too waterlogged.

During the period of 1997, when the satellite was in normal operation, the climate was different. In Peru and Ecuador, that is, near the west coast of South America, and then extended westward until near the international international date line, the ocean water temperature showed an abnormal rising trend, which was named "El Ni? o event".

It is said that long ago, ancient Indians living near the west coast of South America noticed the change of seawater temperature very early. Around Christmas, the sea temperature will be very different from usual. If the sea temperature rises sharply, a large number of seabirds will migrate in the air soon, and even it will rain heavily.

Ancient Indians thought this phenomenon was very magical and called it the "prodigy" trend. Corresponding to Spanish "El Nino" and "Son of God", translated into El Nino. There are many precursors of El Nino phenomenon, such as pressure change, abnormal drought and flood, polar solar eclipse, sea level change, abnormal reduction of sea ice and so on.

El Nino phenomenon is closely related to marine system and atmospheric system, and its appearance indicates that agriculture, finance, fishery and other industries will be dealt an unpredictable fatal blow, and there have been many similar disasters in history.
