For the 120 yean (1871-1990), every year was designated as an El Nino (EN), or Southern Oscillation (SO), minimum or a combination of these, or none. For all India summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR), unambiguous ENSOW [SO and W (warm events) in the middle of the calendar year] seemed to be best associated with droughts and events of type C (cold events) were best associated with floods. However, some droughts occurred without the presence of EN related events and some floods occurred even in the presence of EN related events. In these cases, other parameters such as Eurasian snow cover or stratospheric wind QBO might have had a larger influence.
