Suggest why many countries find El Niño weather anomalies very challenging.(10)Countries in the Monsoon climatic region of SE & S Asia depend on the rains that come with the precision of Calender dates (due to the precise dates of Sun’s seasonal shift as per Calender dates). It is essential for their agriculture‚ where countries with huge populations have to feed them‚ made possible with assured crops. Any variation in timing & rainfall quantum affects their crop production adversely. It also leads

(a) Suggest why many countries find El Niño weather anomalies very challenging.(10) El Nino is referring to the dramatic change that occurs in the walker circulation cell and in other areas but I am going to focus on this specific area‚ where the usually south-easterly trade winds going from west of South America to Australia and Indonesia across the Pacific Ocean reverse or severely weaken. This occurs usually every 3-7 years and can last between 12-18 months. During an El

Humans have tried to predict the weather for millions of years. Our ancestors monitored changes in their environment along with the behaviour of animals to help them predict the weather. Through development of our understanding‚ of the atmospheric patterns and the relationship to weather dynamics‚ today it is much easier to forecast a more accurate weather prediction. To better understand the mechanisms which control our weather and climate‚ we have to look at the Earth’s atmosphere. In particular
