I assume you mean British English?

El Ninos happen when the Trade Winds falter, and the warm equatorial
water they have blown into the (southeast Asian) Warm Pool floods back
across the Pacific mainly to the west coast of South America. This
disrupts the Walker circulation (a series of high and low pressure
regions spaced around the equator) and so affects weather around the
Pacific and Indian Oceans, with inevitabley collateral damage in the
Atlantic regions.

With a La Nino, the water off the South American coast is unusually
colder than normal, the opposite to an El Nino. The global effects of
a La Nina are not as noticable as those of an El Nino, but do affect
the US especially its west coast. The American, Alan Reppert, thinks
that the current La Nina will also affect the western European climate
but does not know by how much or even how!

Any corrections to the above remarks would be welcome.

Cheers, Alastair.
