El Niño effect
El Niño is a climate phenomenon that occurs when warm ocean waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean disrupt typical weather patterns. This warming can lead to unusual weather across the globe, including increased rainfall in some regions and droughts in others. It affects global temperatures and can influence storms and monsoon seasons. El Niño typically happens every few years and lasts several months, impacting agriculture, fishing, and weather conditions worldwide. Understanding El Niño helps scientists predict changes in climate and prepare for its effects on different regions.
