La Nina and its opposite, El Nino, are caused by the cooling and warming of sea surface temperatures off western South America. Their development is of huge importance to global agriculture, with La Nina typically bringing more rain to Australia, Southeast Asia and India and less rain to cropping zones in the Americas, and El Nino bringing the opposite.
