warm water moving toward the coast of South America

El Niño is the abnormal warming of the central and eastern tropical Pacific. That warm water shifts weather patterns — often causing heavier rain along the South American coast and altered precipitation/temperature elsewhere (e.g., wetter southern U.S., drier Australia/Indonesia).
