El Niño, a climate phenomenon marked by warming sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, is known to trigger extreme weather events worldwide, from droughts and floods to disruptions in agriculture and ecosystems. Despite its global impact, the mechanisms behind El Niño remain complex and not fully understood, making accurate predictions challenging.
