In the midst of winter in certain years, there's one weather phenomenon that you might hear about frequently: El Niño. Did you realize that your local weather might be impacted by events thousands of miles away? People want to know why certain weather events occur. If you're in the middle of a long drought or if severe storms are wreaking havoc in your area, the weather may dominate the headlines. Often we don't give the weather much thought unless it's making news.
After all, you don't want to be stuck outside without the proper clothing and gear. Do you like to keep an eye on the weather? Or do you rely on friends and family members to tell you when to pack a jacket or a raincoat? For those involved in a lot of outdoor activities, keeping an eye on the weather forecast is an important part of planning.
