For the people asking why they say "El Niño" means blessed child: It's because the effects of El Niño were felt first in Peru usually close to Christmas time. Since it's a Spanish speaking nation they called it El Niño in reference to Jesus. It was only later discovered that El Niño has much more widespread effects than just in Peru, but the name was kept. It's still wrong to say that it means blessed child, but since this is a summary video they probably rushed some things or whatever and got this part mixed up.
Demi Ladipo-Eki It's just one of those things that are lost in translation. Yes the literal translation is The Child but if you add the context of the original meaning, THEN you get Blessed Child. Context= Blessed Child No Context= The Child
I live in the Philippines and all my life I thought El Nino was just a local word for drought seasons. Never thought it was more than that. Interesting how the world is like that.
For people complaining about the name meaning in English, it comes from the fact that El Niño is referencing the Christ Child. El Divino Niño Jesus, or just El Niño for short. That's why they translate it to the Blessed Child.
Stellar Nova Still, El Niño is not Spanish for "the blessed child". The exact literal translation is "the child", they just made up something that wasn't there. Some of us are not complaining, just telling it like it is
@@EM-qx3hx You can't use exact literal translations for idiomatic phrases because you lose the meaning. People don't think of Jesus when you say "the child" in English.
@@ericmuller3339 it's not supposed to be a direct translation. it's a simplification, not uncommon in naming major historical events. It's a misnomer anyways, El Niño is neither blessed or childlike, nor is it's sister El Niña.
"The father, the son and the holy spirit" FYI: There's denotation in language and there's connotation reflecting the usage and implied meanings. El niño can imply blessed even when it doesn't denote blessed. In linguistics, we call the analysis of this usage pragmatics.
@@Podcastforthewin no, the last big El Niño ended in the spring of 2016. And the winter of 2018-2019 also had a slight El Niño but overall we have been in either a La Niña or neutral every year from 2016-2022 with the exception of the last few months of 2018 and the first few months of 2019. It’s also why it’s impressive 2020 tied 2016 as the hottest year on record even though 2020 had a La Niña.
@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI wow I don’t remember it being that got in 2016. I remember in 2015 0r 2014.. talking to a coworker and he said that, that year we haven’t even hit 30c in Calgary all summer. And normally we get at least 3. 2017 we hit 37, 2018-2020 was average maybe even cooler. 2021 after the heat dome, it was the hottest summer in my 39 years.
I'm from the Caribbean and El Niño affected us really bad. There was a 5 month drought and we were days without water since we take water from the lake and not from the ocean
You are just amazing.. I am preaparing for civil services and it helped me a lot. Thanks for uploading such a beautiful video, however ; its outcome are devastating. 😊😊😊
Came here to learn about this topic, the narration is so fast that I had a hard time following so reduced to .75. Now the voice has become seductive. -_-
Easy! El = The; Niño = Child. And that's all there is to it. They didn't have enough time in the video to go through the whole explanation, so they just cut a lot of corners ignoring the millions of Spanish speaking viewers
I live in Buffalo NY and it still has not snowed not that I'm complaining but it's because of the el nino this year. This time last year we had already had about 9 feet of snow in some places. So I guess it's not all bad.
I remember hearing about El Niño in the mid-90s as a child. The way the news reported on it I thought it was the end of the world lol. Come to find out, it's a reoccurring thing, and there have been several El Niños lol who knew
Now i know why the heck the water was so cold when we came to the beach. it was a blistering hot day, but the water was like that of an iceberg's. darn that day was a real bad one.
+Tyler Durden Its referring to the fact the phenomenon occurs around Christmas, which is when christians believe Jesus was born. The baby jesus is otherwise known as the "blessed child".
I thought El Niño is the term for dry and drought weather and La Niña for soaking wet weather. So based on the map you shown, what's going on in Southeast Asia and Australia is El Niño, and in the North and South America it's La Niña. Did I get that right or was I wrong about it.
tootsie|troll® La Niña is the colder than normal water temperatures and El Niño is the warmer than normal water temperatures, resulting in opposite still on the other side of the.
Haha, and here we are in San Diego going "Aw yeah, dude, an El Niño would be sick! We need the rain!" (Which is true). But wow, I didn't know about all the disaster it brings.
guys, i’m trying to learn for school and guys, it means the boy. el niño means the boy. but when they say the boy they are referring to the boy baby jesus. so since it’s christmas time, it’s the time of jesus. amen, thank you!

Only a personal view to all those watching this lesson , Why does El Nino happens in 3 years 4 years and so on or random ..........the scientists have not been able to predict these why is so ..... I was watching this one and a question came into my mind that.... Earth is revolving around the same orbital path around the sun then every thing should go around as normal but why in the case of El Nino it is disturbed I was just thinking it might be the positions of other planets around us, it might be because of solar radiation , maybe because of the gravitational pull from the black holes when earth passes close to it while revolving around sun and so on ...many questions were there in my mind .........I expect answers from you all
@@siddharthnevermind hmmm.......when ever someone has asked a logical question which is beyond the truth/fact( in today's sense)....people say the same words ...as you did .......for you my friend i would say.... don't try imagining and think logically as everyone does .........leave it on us the burden of discovery of laws of nature and so on .....Hope you understood it
historic average? please explain how we are able to know historic ave temperature of the ocean when we have only been measuring it for a few decades now? You cannot claim to know historic average temperature down to the half degree without direct measurements through out history. What is the margin of error on these historic guesses?
+Meher Béjaoui do you suggest that through those measurements we can know the exact temperature of the ocean historically down to the half degree? Again I would ask what is the margin of error on these calculations? With these kind of calculations it's important to know that margin of error wouldn't you agree?
The biggest el nino in recorded history happened in 1997-1998. At the same time, global crise was at its height, leading to the downfall of indonesia's dictator, suharto.. was it a coincidence?
I lived on the east coast and the west coast, Portland to Portland. The water temperature varies by 30deg, but when it varies by a degree in the open oceans along the equatorial belts, we're all doomed to natural disasters... BS!

That's the question we're all asking.
It refers to the Christ Child. El Divino Niño Jesus, or just El Niño for short.
