Over the years, research has shown there is an association between El Nino and deficient rainfall in India
According to a few recent weather forecasts, the world is headed for an El Nino event. The recent data shown by Australian Bureau of Meteorology shows that the tropical Pacific has continued to warm in the past week and the sea surface temperatures now exceed El Niño thresholds and trade winds have remained weaker than average for several weeks.
“If these patterns persist or strengthen, El Niño will become established,” says a release by the Australian agency that has been constantly monitoring the El Nino conditions. Coming Tuesday, the bureau is expected to announce that El Nino event is all but certain. The forecast also says that sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific are recording anomalies of more than one degree, a combination that has not previously been seen in weekly data going back to 1991.
