2020–2023 La Niña Event
The 2020–2023 La Niña event was a rare three-year, triple-dip El Niño–Southern Oscillation#La Niña phase, La Niña. The impact of the event led to numerous natural disasters that were either sparked or fueled by La Niña. El Niño–Southern Oscillation#La Niña phase, La Niña refers to the reduction in the temperature of the ocean surface across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, accompanied by notable changes in the tropical atmospheric circulation. This includes alterations in wind patterns, pressure, and rainfall. The cold phase of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), known as El Niño–Southern Oscillation#La Niña phase, La Niña, typically produces contrasting effects on weather and climate compared to El Niño–Southern Oscillation#El Niño phase, El Niño, which is the warm phase of the same phenomenon.

El Niño–Southern Oscillation
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a global climate phenomenon that emerges from variation in winds and sea surface temperatures over the tropical Pacific Ocean. Those variations have an irregular pattern but do have some semblance of cycles. The occurrence of ENSO is not predictable. It affects the climate of much of the tropics and subtropics, and has links (Teleconnection, teleconnections) to higher-latitude regions of the world. The warming phase of the sea surface temperature is known as "El Niño" and the cooling phase as "La Niña". The Southern Oscillation is the accompanying atmospheric oscillation, which is coupled with the sea temperature change. El Niño is associated with higher than normal air sea level pressure over Indonesia, Australia and across the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic. La Niña has roughly the reverse pattern: high pressure over the central and eastern Pacific and lower pressure through much of the rest of the tropics and subtrop ...
