  tropical cyclone activity. In the Atlantic, El Niño tends to increase wind shear, which can suppress hurricane development. At the same time, the Pacific often becomes more favourable for powerful tropical storms as warmer ocean waters provide additional energy. This contrast highlights how El Niño
