El Niño tends to bring hotter, drier conditions – and La Niña cooler ones – to tropical countries, but both have less of an influence on temperate countries.

It found that the risk of conflict in tropical countries rose from 3 per cent during La Niña years to 6 per cent during El Niño years. The effect was absent from countries only weakly affected by these climate cycles.
