Current El Nino rivals past heavyweights

El Nino, the natural climate pattern that warms equatorial Pacific waters every two to seven years, is currently rivaling the 1997-98 and 2015-16 events. Those past El Ninos caused global upheaval, from Indonesian and Amazon fires to drought-driven crop failures in southern Africa and coastal flooding in Southern California. The present El Nino is rivaling those past heavyweights in strength.

How has your region's weather been affected by El Nino patterns in recent years?
