While El Niño primarily originates in the Pacific Ocean, its effects can ripple across the globe, including India. During El Niño winters, the altered atmospheric patterns may lead to increased rainfall in some parts of the country, particularly in southern and eastern regions. Additionally, the disruption in jet streams can result in more frequent and intense precipitation events, including heavy rains and occasional severe weather. These conditions can also interact with cold snaps from the Arctic, potentially leading to extreme winter weather.
