How does changing weather affect the price of commodities and everything  we buy? Probably, more than you think. In case you weren’t aware, we’ve been experiencing mostly "El Niño" weather conditions for the past ten years. El Niño is characterized by warmer ocean temperatures which affect weather patterns around the world. It has nothing to do with climate change, but rather is a natural result of the massive swirling of warmer and cooler ocean waters,  leading to atmospheric pressure changes. Here's the problem: El Niño’s cooler sister, La Niña—is moody. She brings cooler ocean water temperatures, and…. she has officially arrived.  La Niña, in fact,  is shaking up agriculture in an already-tumultuous year for commodity markets, says the Wall Street Journal.
