El Niño is just a phase or part of ENSO, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. It is an interannual mode of climate variability with three phases: neutral, warm (El Niño), or cool (La Niña). By far, ENSO has the greatest influence on weather patterns across the globe.
A developing El Niño in the Pacific Ocean could influence the weather here in Massachusetts and the rest of New England. More specifically, it could affect hurricane season, whic
