Global atmospheric and hydrological conditions

La Niña is a weather pattern that occurs every few years, as a result of complex variations on the ocean temperatures in the equatorial band of the Pacific Ocean. The 1998–2001 La Niña persisted through early 2001, which made the waters of Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean warmer than normal.
