What is El-Nino and La-Nina? How it affects India’s Monsoon? | IN Depth | Drishti IAS English

This year’s monsoon is also progressing under the cloud of an El Nino in the Pacific Ocean. El Nino, as is commonly known, refers to an abnormal warming of surface waters in equatorial Pacific Ocean. It is known to suppress monsoon rainfall. The opposite phase, La Nina, which is the abnormal cooling of sea surface waters in the same region, is known to aid rainfall over India. There is a third, neutral phase, as well in which the sea surface temperatures remain roughly in line with long-term averages. Together, these three phases in the Pacific Ocean are referred to as El Nino Southern Oscillation, or ENSO.

Is this related to biporjoy cyclone

[@DrishtiIASEnglish]

Dear Viewer, We appreciate your engagement in this section. The El Nino concept has been mentioned in the context of delayed monsoons this year. Any discussion on the Indian monsoon these days invariably has references to the El Nino phenomenon. The fate of the Indian monsoon depends to a great extent on the abnormalities in sea surface temperatures in the far-away Pacific Ocean. This year’s monsoon is also progressing under the influence of an El Nino in the Pacific Ocean. Regards, Team Drishti
