What is El Niño?
El Niño occurs when sea temperatures near the equator are warmer than normal. Trade winds in the west and central Pacific relax and hurricanes in the Atlantic decrease.
This year, ocean temperatures are recorded 3 degrees Fahrenheit above average. The NOAA expects El Niño to last until Spring 2016. El Niño brings the Subtropical Jet Stream to Southern California and that is the reason we have been experiencing wetter weather. The LA times stated that Southern California has "...the greatest chance for wet conditions."
Don't expect the wet weather to stop. The winter is expected to be much wetter this year. Many believe it could be the strongest El Niño in recorded history.
