"La Nina is the natural cooling of the tropical equatorial ocean as a result it shifts the weather pattern in different places, mainly in the tropics, but not only. Now when we have La Nina, what tends to happen in some regions, let’s say Australia, let’s say West Africa, and let’s say Colombia, it corresponds with wet conditions in other places like the southern part of the United States it corresponds to a drought condition."

"In the recent past if we repeat 2022 when we had the last strong La Nina event it corresponded with flooded conditions over Indonesia over Australia and other parts where, the signal of La Nina normally translates into wet conditions. So essentially in areas which are likely to be affected by flood when there is La Nina, the floods are strong."

"We need to be cautious here because the one thing our report is doing is to indicate when La Nina is likely to emerge. But what we need to, clarify is how strong will be La Nina. We don’t know yet because it’s too early to try to give an indication of the strength. Because depending on the strength, although every La Nina event has its own consequences, but if we are facing a strong, medium or a weak (La Nina) the response will be different or the impact will be different."
