How does El Niño and LA Niño affect climate?

El Niño and La Niña are climate phenomena that result from variations in ocean temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. El Niño typically leads to warmer ocean temperatures, causing increased rainfall and flooding in some regions, while contributing to droughts in others. Conversely, La Niña is characterized by cooler ocean temperatures, which can result in opposite effects, such as drier conditions in the eastern Pacific and increased rainfall in the western Pacific. Together, these phenomena significantly influence global weather patterns, including shifts in storm tracks and seasonal climate variability.
