El Niño and La Niña are climatic phenomena that occur in the Pacific Ocean and significantly influence global weather patterns, including the Indian monsoon. El-Nino and Its Impact on India in 2023-2024 El Nino and La Nina are phases of changing sea-surface temperatures in the eastern Pac...

Scientific understanding of how El Nino and La Nina - as well as other natural temperature cycles over the world's big oceans - affect the weather across the world, is always evolving.
El Nino episodes can have a significant impact on weather conditions worldwide. For instance, the northern areas of South America are likely to experience reduced rainfall and incur an increased risk of fires and droughts. Indonesia could also be drier than average, as rainfall moves o...

El Nino computer model outlook. (The Columbia Climate School, Columbia University / FOX Weather) Many climate models and sub-surface data show an El Niño that could be on its last legs, with the average dipping below the 0.5 degrees C (0.9 degrees F) threshold during the spring, baring...
The El Niño is not limited to the equator; it can also have a large-scale impact on the oceanic ecosystem in other regions. When a strong El Niño occurs, such as those in 1957–1958 and 1982–1983, the disturbance can propagate as far north as British Columbia (Tabata, 1985). ...
way through summer now stands at 90 percent, according to the Climate Prediction Center, part of the National Weather Service that focuses on El Nino forecasts. Meteorologists like Jan Null say there are no guarantees when it comes to weather modeling, but a strong El Nino event could be ...
El Niño is a climate cycle in the Pacific Ocean with a global impact on weather patterns. The cycle begins when warm water in the western tropical Pacific Ocean shifts eastward along the equator toward the coast of South America. Normally, this warm water pools near Indonesia and the Philip...
And how does it impact global weather? Our strong El Niño is on borrowed time. We’re likely going to see the warmer-than-normal waters of El Niño linger into the spring months even as temperatures begin to moderate a bit. Forecasters see decent odds tha...
