which is a natural cooling of parts of the Pacific that changes weather worldwide, dissipates like it is forecast to do in a few months.For tornadoes to form, two big ingredients are needed that often aren’t at high enough levels at the same time: wet stormy instability and wind shear, which is a difference in wind speeds and directions at different altitudes.
