During El Nino, the ITCZ
Permalink
During El Nino, the ITCZ typically moves equatorward. With that said, in part due to increased warmth in the tropical eastern Pacific, El Ninos favor a more active eastern Pacific tropical cyclones.
As for the Southwest U.S. summer monsoon, there is a very slight tilt toward increased rainfall. There is more information about the SW monsoon on the CLIMAS webpage (along with podcasts that discuss current/expected conditions): http://www.climas.arizona.edu
