El Niño

El Niño is a climate phenomenon originating in the Pacific Ocean, affecting global weather patterns. It alters atmospheric pressure and ocean temperatures, causing extreme weather events like droughts, floods, and storms worldwide. The interaction between the atmosphere and ocean currents plays a crucial role in climate dynamics, with El Niño disrupting these patterns every 2 to 7 years. Its effects are felt globally, from altered monsoons in India to winter storms in California, making it a significant climatological mystery.
