In this special episode of the Skymet Podcast, Air Vice Marshal G.P. Sharma and Mahesh Palwat break down the recent developments in global climate patterns, focusing on the weakening of La Niña and the shift to neutral conditions in the equatorial Pacific.
They have explained how the rise in sea surface temperatures signals the end of La Niña and why this transition is critical for India's monsoon. With El Niño out of the picture for the next few months, there appears to be no major climatic threat to the upcoming monsoon season. In fact, the indicators point towards a promising year of good rainfall. The episode also sheds light on what neutral ENSO conditions mean for agriculture and water resources, and why they are considered favorable for the Indian subcontinent.
