Did you know El Niño in the Pacific can dramatically change Florida weather?

I have lived in Florida for 71 years and out weather is affected by the Atlantic Ocean near Africa, cold air masses moving south from Canada, and El Nino.

It sure changed the weather on the West Coast in 1998! It was pouring down hard rain every day and driving home after work in the dark with the heavy rain caused a lot of car accidents.
I'm wondering if the West Coast is going to get hit again.🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes i know that. some changes in one ocean creates a big weather event thousands of kilometers away. if i remember correct in pasific it is called jet streams wind
They act like rivers of air. Because of this change, these winds carry strong storms directly to Florida. As a result, Florida has cooler and rainier winters than usual.
The world's climate is completely connected. For example, the Amazon Rainforest also owes its existence to the Saharan Desert

Yep, it also really messes with the weather in Texas & Oklahoma

Ya it is hurting a lot of ecological systems all all around the world.
India is going to have 70% less rain fall, which is going to be bad for them
