El Nino is active now in India, may get stronger this monsoon: IMD

El Nino conditions are currently active over the equatorial Pacific Ocean, showing clear signals in both the ocean and atmosphere. Sea surface temperatures are above normal, with warmer water present below the ocean surface. This warming changes wind patterns and air pressure, affecting weather globally. The Indian Ocean also remains warmer than normal, with warming expanding across large parts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Forecasts suggest further strengthening of El Nino between June and September, likely continuing through the monsoon season.
