It occurs when the Pacific Ocean between Indonesia and South America becomes cooler than normal. Its counterpart, El Ni\u00f1o, causes warming of the same region.<\/p>\n<p>For details information on <strong>El Nino: Concept and impacts <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/forumias.com\/blog\/el-nino-concept-and-impacts\/\">read this article here<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How is La Ni\u00f1a affecting winter in India?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>This winter, southern cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad are colder than usual.
