Solution

El Nino effect is a climate cycle in the Pacific Ocean with a global impact on weather patterns. It occurs when warm water in the western tropical Pacific shifts eastward towards South America due to weakening of normal trade winds, causing high air pressure in the west and low air pressure in the east. This event influences weather worldwide and in India often leads to below normal monsoons and droughts.
