How El Niño Affects India's Monsoon
El Niño weakens the monsoon winds that bring rain to India, leading to below-average rainfall during the southwest monsoon season (June–September). For instance, during the 2026 monsoon, India received only 87.4% of its long-period average rainfall, largely attributed to El Niño conditions.
