I believe it's El Nino. When the weather is colder, it's because of La Nina. My science teacher told us how to remember this because of how men (nino) and women (nina) fight. When men fight, they become angry, or hot. When women fight, they become cold. This should help you remember the effects of these currents.

Do ocean currents affect Las Vegas?
Yes. Ocean currents affect world wide weather patterns, and weather affects Las Vegas.
Why are oceans important to weather patterns?
Ocean and water cycle causes change in weather. The amount of moisture in air changes.
What relationship do you see occurring between the temperature of a current and the temperature of the land area where it is located think coastal areas?
currents affect climate, as they can bring in warm or cold ocean waters and that affects how weather patterns are created offshore
What is an el nino southern California?
The El Nino is an unusual warm ocean conditionswhich have amazing effects on weather patterns around the world.
Is barometric pressure lower near the ocean?
You cannot make that generalisation. Barometric pressure depends on altitude and on the current weather conditions.
A warm ocean current that alters weather patterns?
The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current that flows from the Gulf of Mexico along the eastern coast of North America towards Europe. It helps maintain Europe's relatively mild climate by bringing warm water and air to the region. The Gulf Stream also influences weather patterns and can impact precipitation and temperature in areas it flows through.
Warm ocean current that alters weather patterns?
It is a El Niño
What will happen to weather patterns if global warming continues?
Weather patterns will change, and are changing already. Warming is energy, and this extra energy in the atmosphere gives more strength to storms, changes wind and ocean current directions, and moves rain from its usual patterns.
Do ocean currents affect Las Vegas?
Yes. Ocean currents affect world wide weather patterns, and weather affects Las Vegas.
What ocean current most affects the weather in north America?
The Ocean Current that most affects the weather in North America is probably the EL NINO or the UPWELLING Currents.
What ocean current most influences the weather eastern North America?
The Indian ocean
Why are oceans important to weather patterns?
Ocean and water cycle causes change in weather. The amount of moisture in air changes.
What influences the weather and climate?
sun's energy wind patterns ocean temperatures volcanic action
Where are currents found?
A surface current is found at the surface of the ocean caused by wind patterns.
What ocean current dictates nc's climate?
The warm waters of the Gulf Stream ocean current largely determines the weather of North Carolina.
Are ocean shore barometric pressure changes predictive of tidal waves?
No. Barometric pressure is a means of measuring weather patterns. Tsunamis are not weather-related.
What is the Southern Current circling Antarctica?
You may be thinking of the Antarctic Deep Water current that feeds the Southern Ocean and its circulation patterns.
