211. The Effects of La Nina are

1. 1. Cooler sea temperatures, high atmospheric pressure and drier air

   
   
   

   2. Current bring nutrients up from the deep water, providing feast, rather than famine

   
   
   

   3. Accompanying strong winds blow moisture away, making for cloudless skies and dry conditions in equatorial countries
