The climate of South America is striking large areas especially in Peru and Ecuador. Society is perplexed by the fury of this climate catastrophe in the Southern Hemisphere.

There are experts who are inclined to call this phenomenon

“El Niño”, others indicate that it is not. Within the recently completed Southern Hemisphere summer, there was a great drought and record temperatures in Australia and at the same time an atypical and exaggerated rainfall regime in Ecuador and Perú. Over the past month, Ecuador has had most of its major cities flooded. In Perú, 84 dead, more than 100,000 houses damaged, the affected population amounts to one million people.

In South America, the rains continue, but fortunately its apocalyptic characteristic has diminished. At the moment, a tropical storm is forming in Australia, north of Queensland. What we all wonder is whether this rainy season has ended or will continue.

On March 21, 2017, the summer ended and the Southern Hemisphere began, it is known that autumn is always a season much rainier than the summer, which is not a very promising indicator. There continues an endless cloud formation in the Pacific that travels in the direction of the continent and becomes rain. The least amount of rain that occurs in Ecuador with respect to what happens in Peru lies in the presence of the Galapagos Islands that generate a protective shield effect.

This fall will be especially remembered, but not yet finished as it extends until June 21, we will see what surprises brings us in the coming days. I do not consider that we are facing “El niño” phenomenon, I consider that we are facing a climate change, the difference is that this change will remain for some years lashing the planet.

We have suffered the effects of 17 years of a weakened sun, today we are at a solar maximum, but activity rates in the sun correspond to lows of other times. This solar weakening also affects its magnetic field that keeps the solar energy inside the star. In recent years, large holes have formed in the sun's crown that have even reached 40% of the visible face towards the earth. Less magnetic field, more energy is released into space and the earth is affected by this energy increment.

The high temperatures in the Pacific are not a product of “El Niño” but of the large amount of solar energy that the sun is releasing and this is causing a change in climatic regimes throughout the planet.

This reminds me that the French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, on May 13, 2014, in a press conference held jointly with John Kerry, US Secretary of State, said: "We have 500 days to avoid the climate chaos" Does this have something to do with what we are living?.
