La Niña years often bring colder winters to North India, with dense fog and frost affecting regions like Delhi, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh. Eastern states such as Bihar, Assam, and West Bengal face higher flood risks due to heavy monsoon rains, while southern states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala experience increased cyclone activity during the northeast monsoon. These weather patterns can disrupt travel plans, agricultural productivity, and economic stability. In 2026, the ongoing El Niño may lead to milder winters and a weaker monsoon, potentially impacting crop yields and food prices.
