El Nina becomes La Nino when El Nino cools. La Nina is a counter ocean current which becomes effective in the Tropical Western Pacific when El Nino becomes ineffective in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. The dry condition in the western Pacific is terminated and the wet condition is introduced in the Tropical Western Pacific by Later Nina.

El Nino and La Nina refers to the periodic development of a warm and cold  ocean currents along the coast of Peru as a temporary replacement of the cold Peruvian current.

The hurricane impacts of El Niño and its counterpart La Niña are opposite and alternating between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, strengthening hurricane activity in one region while weakening it in the other. However, the effect is limited to the climate of the tropics and subtropics.

Ocean currents does not have influence over the climate in India. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.
