The heat is not very pleasant
Dialogue
Overview
This is a comparison meme contrasting the harmless-sounding name of the El Niño weather phenomenon with its unpleasant real-world effects. A happy, calm, friendly golden retriever sitting on the left is labeled "EL NINO NAME", representing how gentle and unthreatening the name appears. Next to it on the right is a large, aggressive, snarling werewolf-like monster with bared fangs labeled "EL NINO EFFECT", representing the destructive, uncomfortable conditions caused by El Niño, most notably the extreme heat referenced in the original post title.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced via RSS from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit. It uses a widely popular existing expectation vs reality meme format that pairs a small cute entity with a large terrifying entity to highlight stark contrasts between perception and reality. The Imgflip watermark at the bottom left indicates it was created using the Imgflip meme generator, and it was made as a humorous reaction to widespread complaints about extreme heat from recent El Niño events.
![This is a 2-panel reaction meme using the well-known Mr Bean exam cheating scene template. In the first panel, the student sitting on the left is labeled 'Europe', focused on writing on his exam paper, while Mr. Bean sitting to his right is labeled 'Americans naming cities' and is sneakily glancing at Europe's paper. In the second panel, Europe looks up with an annoyed, surprised expression at Mr. Bean, who is caught looking, with text next to Mr. Bean reading '"New [City name]"'. The joke satirizes the common naming convention used for many United States cities, where the prefix 'New' is added to the name of an existing European city for newly established settlements, such as New York, New Orleans, New Hampshire, and New London.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/96/58/df/90/9658df90d3c4d5bf9899ba1e9a441daa.jpeg.webp)
