- La Niña was in part responsible for record-breaking rain in Australia, active hurricane seasons, and drought in East Africa.
- La Niña is the phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) where waters in the Pacific Ocean are cooler than average, the opposite of the warmer El Niño phase.
- ENSO would normally transition from La Niña to El Niño every 2-5 years but 2022 saw a rare "triple-dip" La Nina.
