Tamil Nadu may encounter El Niño differently from rest of India
Researchers note that Tamil Nadu could experience El Niño impacts distinct from other Indian regions. In pronounced El Niño events, pressure contrasts between the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea may channel moist air toward the state’s coast. If the phenomenon aligns with unusually warm Bay waters, heightened evaporation and late‑year cyclonic activity could trigger intense, localized downpours.
