AI has managed to double the prediction lead time for El Niño events compared to traditional models, forecasting them 18 months in advance.

El Niño's occurrence, however, is sporadic due to the intensifying effects of global warming, making its impacts unpredictable across regions.

The irregularities in climate patterns due to ongoing global warming make historical data sets less reliable.

Ganguly emphasizes that AI's strength lies in its ability to navigate the vast data 'ocean,' rather than relying on simplified traditional models.
