"There is a fear that La Niña could have a delayed impact on the rainy season, which starts in March 2008; the worst may be yet to come. National Meteorological and Hydrological Services of the region will be providing regular updates as the phenomenon develops," Apuuli said.
La Niña is characterised by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, recorded every three to four years, which cause a ripple effect felt across the globe, making wet regions wetter and dry ones drier.
El Niño is characterised by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. The system oscillates between warm El Niño and neutral or cold La Niña conditions every three to four years on average.

Pests include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, molluscs, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms) and microbes that compete with humans for food, destroy property, spread or are a vector for disease or cause a nuisance. Although there are benefits to the use of pesticides, there are also drawbacks, such as potential toxicity to humans and other animals.
