The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has ruled out the possibility of El Nino during the 2025 monsoon season.
Aspect | El Niño | La Niña | ENSO-Neutral |
Sea Surface Temperature (SSTs) | Warmer than normal in the central and eastern Pacific | Cooler than normal in the central and eastern Pacific | Near average SSTs with no significant warming or cooling |
Wind Patterns | Weaker easterly trade winds | Stronger easterly trade winds | Normal trade wind strength |
Monsoon Rainfall (South Asia) | Decreased rainfall, leading to drought conditions | Increased rainfall, leading to floods | Variable rainfall, but generally near normal |
Oceanic Conditions | Reduced upwelling, leading to lower nutrient levels | Enhanced upwelling, increasing nutrient availability | Balanced oceanic conditions |
Impact on Global Climate | Warmer global temperatures, increased droughts in some regions, heavy rainfall in others | Cooler global temperatures, more storms and hurricanes in some regions | Moderate climate effects, but still capable of influencing weather patterns |
Effect on Fisheries | Decline in fish populations due to reduced nutrients | Increase in fish populations due to upwelling | Stable fish populations |
