The rainforest was also greatly destroyed from the forest fires of 1997 to 1998, which were started by the locals to clear the forests for crops and perpetuated by an exceptionally dry El Niño season during that period.

The economic crisis was aggravated in 1982 and 1983 by drastic climatic changes, bringing severe drought as well as flooding, precipitated by the appearance of the unusually warm ocean current known as " El Niño ".

The crisis was precipitated by a number of external shocks, including the El Niño weather phenomenon in 1997, a sharp drop in global oil prices in 1997-98, and international emerging market instability in 1997-98.

Coffee production was hit particularly hard ; 3 % of the harvest was lost in addition to 8. 2 % that was lost earlier in the year due to El Niño.

El Niño – Southern Oscillation ( ENSO ), or El Niño / La Niña – Southern Oscillation, is a quasiperiodic climate pattern that occurs across the tropical Pacific Ocean roughly every five years.

The Southern Oscillation refers to variations in the temperature of the surface of the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean ( warming and cooling known as El Niño and La Niña respectively ) and in air surface pressure in the tropical western Pacific.

The two variations are coupled: the warm oceanic phase, El Niño, accompanies high air surface pressure in the western Pacific, while the cold phase, La Niña, accompanies low air surface pressure in the western Pacific.

The extremes of this climate pattern's oscillations, El Niño and La Niña, cause extreme weather ( such as floods and droughts ) in many regions of the world.

In popular usage, the El Niño – Southern Oscillation is often called just " El Niño ".

El Niño is Spanish for " the little boy " and refers to the Christ child, because periodic warming in the Pacific near South America is usually noticed around Christmas.

El Niño is defined by prolonged differences in the Pacific ocean Sea surface temperatures when compared with the average value.

When this warming or cooling occurs for only seven to nine months, it is classified as El Niño / La Niña " conditions "; when it occurs for more than that period, it is classified as El Niño / La Niña " episodes ".

The first signs of an El Niño are:

When El Niño conditions last for many months, extensive ocean warming and the reduction in Easterly Trade winds limits upwelling of cold nutrient-rich deep water and its economic impact to local fishing for an international market can be serious.

Although its causes are still being investigated, El Niño events begin when trade winds, part of the Walker circulation, falter for many months.

The weakening of the winds can also create twin cyclones, another sign of a future El Niño.
