EL NIÑO

ᗯᕼᗩT IՏ ᗴᒪ NIÑO

El Niño is a climate phenomenon

characterized by the periodic warming
of sea surface temperatures in the
central and eastern tropical Pacific
Ocean, disrupting global weather
patterns. This warming of ocean waters
leads to atmospheric changes that can
result in extreme weather events
worldwide, such as droughts, floods,
and storms.
El Niño is part of the El Niño Southern
Oscillation (ENSO) cycle, which also
includes La Niña events. Monitoring
El Niño is crucial for climate
prediction, disaster preparedness, and
resource management, as it can have
significant impacts on agriculture,
water resources, and public health.
Understanding the causes and effects
of El Niño is essential for mitigating
its consequences and building
resilience to its impacts on society and
the environment.

El Niño is primarily caused by the

interaction between the ocean and the
atmosphere in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
During El Niño events, there is a weakening
of the trade winds, which normally blow
from east to west across the Pacific. This
weakening allows warm water to migrate
eastward towards the coast of South
America, leading to the warming of sea
surface temperatures and the onset of El
Niño conditions.

1. Droughts: El Niño can lead to

decreased rainfall in certain
regions, causing drought
conditions. This can have severe
impacts on agriculture, water
resources, and ecosystems,
leading to crop failures, water
shortages, and increased risk of
wildfires.
 2. Floods: Conversely, El
Niño can also result in
increased precipitation and
intense rainfall in other
areas, leading to flooding.
The warmer sea surface
temperatures can fuel more
evaporation and moisture
in the atmosphere,
contributing to heavy
rainfall and potential
flooding events in affected
regions.

During El Niño events, farmers may face

challenges such as erratic rainfall patterns,
droughts, and water scarcity, impacting crop
yields and agricultural productivity. The
reduced water availability and extreme weather
conditions can lead to crop failures, affecting
food security and livelihoods. Farmers may
need to implement adaptive strategies, such as
drought-resistant crop varieties, water
conservation measures, and diversified farming
practices, to mitigate the impact of El Niño on
agriculture.
PREPAREDNESS FOR
EXTREME HEAT EVENTS OF
EL NIÑO IN THREE
SENTENCES.

-To prepare for extreme

heat events during El Niño,
individuals and
communities can take
proactive measures such as
staying informed about
weather forecasts and heat
advisories.
 It is essential to stay
hydrated, seek shade, and
avoid prolonged exposure
to high temperatures to
prevent heat-related
illnesses. Developing a heat
emergency plan, including
identifying cooling centers
and knowing how to access
them, can help ensure the
safety and well-being of
individuals during extreme
heat events associated with
El Niño.

-El Niño can have significant socioeconomic

impacts globally, affecting industries such as
agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and energy
production. The disruptions in weather
patterns caused by El Niño can lead to crop
failures, food shortages, and economic losses
in agricultural regions. Additionally, the
increased frequency and intensity of extreme
weather events during El Niño can strain
infrastructure, disrupt supply chains, and
result in financial burdens for communities
and governments.
