Distant Pacific phenomenon may be drying north India
A new study says a far-off Pacific Ocean phenomenon may be drying out northern India. The findings suggest distant climate patterns can affect rain, farms and water supplies at home.
ContextThe Pacific Ocean phenomenon mentioned is likely El Niño or La Niña, which are warm or cool shifts in Pacific sea temperatures that affect rainfall across the world. Monsoon rain in India is strongly influenced by these distant ocean patterns, so changes can affect farming and water supply.
