About El Niño
El Niño is an iOS application designed to help users track live signals from the Pacific warming climate.

Designed for weather enthusiasts and data-conscious users alike, the app includes a Home Screen widget to keep the latest complete updates close at hand.
The app operates on a transparent, upfront one-time purchase model with no mandatory accounts, ongoing subscriptions, or recurring fees.
