El Niño is a climate phenomenon associated with warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, often influencing weather patterns across the globe. In India, El Niño is closely monitored because it can affect the southwest monsoon, which provides the majority of annual rainfall and supports millions of farmers. Historically, strong El Niño events have been associated with below-normal rainfall, delayed monsoon onset, moisture stress, reduced crop yields, and increased pressure on water resources, although the impact can vary depending on other climatic factors such as the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD).
