This month, I decided to take a break from looking at the mathematical side of El Nino, and decided to focus more on the actual weather. What do these data values mean? This entire project is focused on predicting El Nino values, so it is necessary to understand what the values mean in order to predict upcoming weather. I decided to start off by looking at El Nino's effect on temperature, considering temperature is a very basic measurement of the weather. The warm water boosts global air temperatures by a minimum of .1 degrees Celsius. This increase in temperature combined with global warming due to heat trapping gases such as carbon monoxide will result in 2017 being names one of the top 3 hottest years the earth has ever experienced. Next, I will research the direct relationship El Nino has on hurricanes and tropical storms, and hopefully be able to attempt to predict possible hurricane patterns in 2018.

Great idea! Let me know if you would like more information on weather, like an expert to talk to. I am sure that we can find one in the Capital District!
