What are La Niña and El Niño climate phenomena?

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the El Niño and the La niña have a direct influence on climate variability on a global scale. During events El Niño, like what occurred in 2015-2016, there were significant impacts in several parts of the world, including floods, droughts and changes in the distribution of seasonal rainfall. On the other hand, the La niña also plays an important role in climatic conditions, such as La niña occurred in 2010-2011, which affected South America, causing above-average rainfall and flooding in some areas.

These phenomena are widely monitored and studied by climate institutions and meteorological agencies around the world to better understand their effects and provide more accurate forecasts. Monitoring these events is essential to help with decision-making, such as planning agricultural crops, managing water resources and preventing climate-related natural disasters.
