During a La Niña event, the Walker Circulation strengthens as the trade winds intensify, pushing warm water further westward in the Pacific. This often results in heavy rainfall in Southeast Asia and Australia.
Explanation:
The Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot, dry summers due to subtropical high pressure and mild, wet winters due to the influence of westerly winds and mid-latitude cyclones.
Explanation:
The Walker Circulation is a large-scale cell of rising and sinking air over the Pacific Ocean. Warm air rises over the western Pacific (near Indonesia) and sinks over the eastern Pacific. This circulation is disrupted during El Niño events.
