El Niño is a climate phenomenon characterized by the weakening or reversal of trade winds that blow east to west across the Pacific Ocean. This weakening of the trade winds disrupts the typical pattern of oceanic and atmospheric circulation, leading to the warming of surface waters in the central and eastern tropical Pacific. This can result in changes in weather patterns worldwide, including increased rainfall in some regions and drought in others.
