El Niño alone does not cause torrential rains Raisi Ardakani, the father of Iran's hydrogeology science, in an interview with ISNA: The effects of El Niño are not the same in different parts of the world. Rainfall forecasting in Iran needs to examine a set of weather and climate patterns. It is not possible to talk about widespread rains and floods in Israel based on the occurrence of this phenomenon. In some cases, the El Niño phenomenon can last for about three years. It is predicted that we will have good rains in November; But this issue does not mean the occurrence of heavy rains in all the cities and regions of the country. I expect next year's summer to be hotter than this summer in terms of temperature.
