El Niño is a climate phenomenon characterized by the warming of sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. This warming can have significant impacts on weather patterns around the world, leading to increased rainfall and flooding in some regions, and drought conditions in others. El Niño events typically occur every two to seven years and can last for several months to over a year. The impacts of El Niño can vary depending on its intensity and duration, and can have major consequences for agriculture, water resources, and ecosystems.
