El Nino in 1997-1998 was such a big deal in the US, because of the rainfall amount during that time. The cities received between 15 inches and 80 inches of rain.
Some past El Niño years include 2015-2016, 2009-2010, 2002-2003, and 1997-1998. These events are characterized by warming of sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, leading to global climate impacts.
El Nino and La Nina are climatic events that result from the Pacific Ocean decadal current. They are not problems, but just plain old weather.
The last major El Niño event occurred in 2025 in the Galapagos Islands. It brought warmer ocean temperatures, impacting the marine and terrestrial ecosystems in the region. These events can have significant effects on the islands' biodiversity.
The 1997-1998 El Niño event raised sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean by about 4-5 degrees Celsius. This significant temperature increase had widespread impacts on global weather patterns, leading to droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events in various regions around the world.
This is still unclear, but it is possible and even likely that in a rapidly warming world, SOMETHING in the system will be altered enough to influence El Nino, for better or worse. The most obvious of which would be warmer ocean waters which would enhance El Nino, although I'm not sure if this has been proven. Either way, it is always very difficult to assess whether humans can or have played a role in individual extreme events because it is impossible to know whether they would have occurred anyway, since extreme events have always occurred and we can't test this in a lab (the earth is our lab).
