WHERE DID THE NAME EL NINO COME FROM?
Fishermen off the west coast of South America
were the first to notice appearances of unusually warm water that
occurred at year's end. The phenomenon became known as El Niño because
of its tendency to occur around Christmas time. El Niño is Spanish for
"the boy child" and is named after the baby Jesus.
