Warmer surface temperatures in the tropics are a phenomenon called El Niño (for the Christmas season) and the related cooler temperatures are called La Niña. The climate cycle is technically called the ENSO (for El Niño Southern Oscillation). El Niño brings wetter winters to the southwest US and northern Mexico, and cooler, wetter winters to the southeast US. Another summer effect is to reduce hurricane activity.
