Q: What is the difference between La Niña and El Niño?

Arabia Weather - “El Niño” and “La Niña” are two climate phenomena that occur in the tropical region of the Pacific Ocean, but the El Niño phenomenon, which is still affecting the world, occurs as a result of the water surface temperature in the Pacific Ocean rising above its average.

As for the La Niña phenomenon, it occurs as a result of temperatures falling below average in the Pacific Ocean, and both phenomena lead to a number of strong global weather disturbances.
