Mhlawumbi ukhe weva malunga nemeko yemozulu eyaziwa ngokuba yi-El Niño kunyaka ophelileyo. Into ongayaziyo kukuba kukho into echasene ngokupheleleyo efumana igama likaLa Niña kwaye oko kuhlala kwenzeka ngale mihla, nje ukuba into ka-El Niño iphelile.
Emva koko ndiza kukuxelela ngakumbi ngeLa Niña kunye Iziphumo ezivelisa kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zeplanethi.
Into yaseLa Niña ihlala ibangela ukwehla okukhulu kumaqondo obushushu kunye nexesha elinamandla lembalela kwiindawo ezikufutshane nePasifiki. Ihlala ihlala iinyanga ezimbalwa kwaye eyona inamandla yenzekile ngonyaka we-1988/1989.
Ngokubhekiselele kwimiphumo eyivelisayo, kufanelekile ukuqaqambisa ukwanda kwemimoya ye-alder ebangela ukuba amanqanaba olwandle anciphise kunxweme lwaseColombia, e-Ecuador nasePeru. Kukho uxinzelelo lobushushu obuphezulu kwiilwandlekazi ze-Pacific ebangela ukusibekela ngakumbi nemvula enkulu.
Isimo seLa Niña sikhulu ngakumbi ngelixa sihlala sincinci ngexesha kwaye eyona mpembelelo inkulu ihlala ivela kwiinyanga zokuqala zale nto. Ngokungafaniyo no-El Niño, iLa Niña yenzeka rhoqo rhoqo kwisithuba seminyaka emi-4-7.
Ngokwolwazi lwamva nje oluvela kwiingcali ngalo mbandela, imeko ye-El Niño iyahlakazeka njengoko ulwandle lupholile, Nangona kunjalo, le nyaniso ibonisa ukufika kwale nto ikhankanywe ngasentla yeLa Niña. Uqikelelo lweengcali zemozulu alunanto kwaphela kwaye kubonakala ngathi uLa Niña unokuba mbi ngakumbi kunoEl Niño. Kuya kufuneka silinde iiveki ezimbalwa ukuze sazi ubungakanani bale nto ngokuchasene ngokupheleleyo ne-El Niño edumileyo.
