Detailed explanation-1: -This is predicted to result in further global climate disruptions. El Niño and La Niña are atmospheric patterns that influence warming and cooling of sea surface temperatures in the Central and Equatorial Pacific.
Detailed explanation-2: -In general, El Niño conditions lead to wetter, snowier conditions in Amarillo and cooler maximum temperatures during the winter. La Niña conditions lead to drier and warmer temperatures overall, with notable extreme cold spells. In stronger El Niño or La Niña episodes, these trends are even greater.
Detailed explanation-3: -Periods of weaker-or stronger-than-average easterly trade winds initiate El Niño and La Niña. By disrupting the atmospheric circulation in the planet’s largest ocean basin, El Niño shifts the average location and strength of the mid-latitude jet sreams, producing “side effects” on weather around the globe.
