Oran A Hall - El Niño and your wallet

El Niño is a natural climate phenomenon in the equatorial Pacific Ocean characterised by unusually warm ocean currents, which disrupt global weather patterns, including rainfall, temperatures and storm patterns. Its effects are far-reaching and personal, as it can hurt your pocket mainly by causing prices to increase and reducing income stability. We are experiencing in Jamaica the effects of El Niño: very high temperatures and widespread drought conditions, so it is a personal matter for every Jamaican resident.
