Correct Answer

Options:

1. It becomes wetter than usual
2. It becomes weaker and drier than usual
3. It becomes stronger and wetter than usual
4. It remains unaffected by El Nino and La Nina

Correct Answer

Options:

1. It involves analyzing the behavior of polar whirls and stratospheric jet streams
2. It is based on statistical analysis of past data on significant weather elements such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, and precipitation
