El Niño increases rainfall in some areas and drought in others.
Explanation: El Niño is a warming of the central/eastern tropical Pacific that shifts atmospheric circulation and jet streams, producing wetter-than-normal conditions in some regions (e.g., coastal South America, parts of the southern US) and drier-than-normal conditions in others (e.g., Australia, Indonesia).
