El Nino, La Nina

To provide context, El Nino and La Nina are significant climate patterns that affect global weather.

El Nino causes abnormal warming of surface waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, leading to an increase in sea surface temperatures by as much as 4 to 5 degrees Celsius above normal. This pattern has far-reaching effects on weather across the globe. Conversely, La Nina results in cooler-than-normal waters in the same region.

As the IMD predicts La Nina conditions for the upcoming months, residents of Hyderabad should prepare for a challenging winter season ahead.
