It occurs on average once every three to five years and forms when equatorial Pacific temperatures are.5 degrees Celsius above average for several months in a row

Centuries ago, fishermen off the northern coast of Peru noticed that around Christmas, a southward warm current appeared near shore, briefly reversing the usual cold flow

That’s a slight reduction from an initial forecast issued in May and lower than the average season, though it only takes one major storm to threaten lives

The marine predator has become more common along the west coast in recent years, with stories of surfers seeing underwater behemoths closer to shore and scientists saying swimmers and ocean-lovers alike are probably already sharing their favorite beaches with great whites, whether they know it or not
