El Niño, heat deaths and why parched Maharashtra cannot declare drought yet · 24 September 2026 · Covers one part · use it in the body
Lets you argue that El Niño explains much, but not all, of India's monsoon and heat anomalies.
- El Niño warms the central and eastern equatorial Pacific and shifts the Walker circulation eastwards, bringing sinking air and weaker monsoon winds over India.
- Most, though not all, El Niño years have seen below-normal Indian rainfall, and a positive Indian Ocean Dipole can partly offset El Niño's effect.
- One report estimates this year's strong El Niño could add about 15,800 heat-related deaths in India.
