During El Nino, low-level surface winds blowing from east to west across the Pacific are weakened or sometimes reversed. It causes a shift in the jet stream and drives record global heat, severe droughts, wildfires and shrinking water supplies.

Hurricane windows are designed to withstand high winds and flying debris. Impact windows also offer noise reduction, energy efficiency, and UV filtering. They are more expensive upfront than storm shutters,

El Niño has fueled a string of hurricanes in the Pacific but kept the Atlantic season at a 75-year low. Meanwhile, unusual sea creatures are popping up along the West Coast.

Bold NOAA hurricane hunters ventured into the eye of Category 5-rated Hurricane Polo this week, revealing the true size of the gigantic storm.

Hawaii is bracing for heavy rain and wind from Hurricane Nolo and Mexico is preparing for a hit from Hurricane Polo.
