The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a large-scale climate phenomenon that contributes to annual global climate variability by changing the global atmospheric circulation.

ENSO influences temperature and precipitation across the planet through its three (3) phases:

1. El Niño:

Warming of the ocean surface or above-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. In the Philippines, El Niño is associated with below-normal rainfall and fewer tropical cyclones.

2. La Niña

Cooling of the ocean surface, or below-average sea surface temperatures (SST), in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. In the Philippines, La Niña is associated with above-normal rainfall and more tropical cyclones.

3. Neutral

Sea surface records generally average temperatures that cannot be categorized as either El Niño or La Niña.

Warming temperatures in recent days? Occasional rain showers and thunderstorms? That is easterlies taking effect!

Easterlies, as the name suggests, are winds that blow from the East. In the Philippines, these are warm, moist winds that come from the Pacific Ocean.

These warm and moist winds are responsible for bringing equally warm and moist temperatures. Easterlies also cause weather conditions such as cloudy skies and local rain showers and thunderstorms, especially in the eastern parts of the country.
