La Niña is a climate phenomenon in which the central and eastern Pacific Ocean become cooler than normal. This cooling changes atmospheric pressure and shifts global wind patterns.
Because the Pacific drives much of Earth’s weather, La Niña affects jet streams, storm tracks, rainfall, and temperatures worldwide. It often brings colder winters to North America, wetter weather to Australia and Southeast Asia, and can increase Atlantic hurricane activity.
