Impact of El NINO and La NINA on India
El Niño and La Niña significantly impact India's climate, causing variations in monsoon patterns, influencing agricultural productivity, and affecting water resources and fisheries.
Impact of El Nino on India
- Monsoon: El Niño typically leads to weaker and delayed monsoons in India. This can result in reduced rainfall and even drought conditions in many parts of the country.
- Agriculture: Since Indian agriculture is heavily reliant on monsoon rains, El Niño can cause significant drops in crop yields, leading to food shortages and higher prices.
- Heatwaves: El Niño years are often associated with higher temperatures, resulting in heatwaves across various parts of India.
