It typically brings heavy rainfall to India and causes droughts in parts of Africa and South America. While La Nina tends to cool global temperatures slightly, it is contrasted by El Nino, which warms the climate, researchers noted.Scientists reported that in January 2025, Earth's temperature was 1.75 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial levels. For 18 of the last 19 months, global temperatures have remained above the critical 1.5-degree threshold.
