✅Gs-1 : Geography- El Nino explained
⚜️1. What?- climate pattern characterized by Pacific Ocean warming.
⚜️2. Impact : It weakens Pacific trade winds and reduces upwelling along South America's western coast.Warmer ocean temperatures release heat and moisture into the atmosphere.
⚜️3. Impact on India : El Niño alters monsoon circulation over the Indian subcontinent.It can weaken or delay the onset of the Indian monsoon.El Niño can cause decreased rainfall, leading to drought conditions in some areas.
⚜️4. It can also disrupt rainfall distribution, causing excess rainfall in other regions.
⚜️5. La Niña, the opposite phase, enhances rainfall over the Indian subcontinent.Monitoring El Niño helps predict and understand the Indian monsoon's behavior.
