La Niña is defined as cooler than normal sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific ocean that impact global weather patterns. La Niña the counterpart of El Niño is characterized by below-normal sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean near the equator -- a result of shifting wind patterns in the atmosphere.

El Niño and La Niña are opposite phases of a naturally occurring global climate cycle known as the El Niño Southern Oscillation or ENSO for short. They occur when the Pacific Ocean and the atmosphere above it change from their neutral normal state for several seasons. El Niño and La Niña episodes occur on average every few years and last up to around a year or two.
