Solution

El Nino is a natural climate phenomenon characterized by the warming of surface waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. This warming disrupts typical atmospheric circulation patterns, leading to significant changes in global weather, including altered rainfall and temperature distributions. El Nino events occur irregularly, typically every 2 to 7 years, and can last from several months to over a year.
