During El Niño events, the Pacific Ocean experiences warmer than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific. This disrupts normal weather patterns, leading to increased rainfall in the eastern Pacific and drought conditions in the western Pacific. The changes in ocean temperatures also affect global atmospheric circulation patterns, influencing weather patterns around the world.
