El Niño is a weather phenomenon that occurs in the Pacific Ocean, but it can have far-reaching effects on weather patterns around the world.

One of the ways that El Niño affects weather patterns is by altering the jet stream, which can cause droughts in certain regions.

In Africa, El Niño can lead to droughts by causing a shift in the rainfall patterns, which can result in less rainfall in certain areas.

Droughts in Africa can have devastating effects on the continent's agriculture, which is largely dependent on rain-fed crops.

Droughts can also lead to food shortages, which can have a ripple effect on the economy and lead to increased poverty and malnutrition.

Understanding the link between El Niño and droughts in Africa is crucial for anticipating and reducing their impact.
