What parts of the world are affected by El Niño?

Flooding in California related to El Niño

RESEARCH SOURCE: El Niño and La Niña

• “During El Nino years, fewer rain clouds form over Indonesia, the Pacific Islands, Australia, and Southeast Asia.” Lush rain forests dry out and become fuel for forest fires.”
• “Many species of fish are driven elsewhere to find food; in severe El Niño year's fish populations may be almost completely wiped out. Bird species that depend on fish must look elsewhere, and the human fishing population faces economic hardship.”
• Normally dry areas in western South America, such as Peru and Ecuador, may experience torrential rains, flooding, and mud slides during the El Niño phase.

Seawater warming up around the holiday season, less rain in Asia, Australia, and Pacific islands causing fires. All of this happens because of El Niño. The author is explaining how what El Niño does.

El Niño is an international phenomenon that not only affects the ocean temperature change, but has effects that change the life of inhabitants of the area affected area like said here  “During El Nino years, fewer rain clouds form over Indonesia, the Pacific Islands, Australia, and Southeast Asia.” Lush rain forests dry out and become fuel for forest fires”. Also the weather changes drastically as said “Normally dry areas in western South America, such as Peru and Ecuador, may experience torrential rains, flooding, and mud slides during the El Niño phase.”

An interesting thing is that  people’s food supply of marine animals is changed as said here“Many species of fish are driven elsewhere to find food; in severe El Niño year's fish populations may be almost completely wiped out. Bird species that depend on fish must look elsewhere, and the human fishing population faces economic hardship”.
