Short summary
This paper reports the results of our study about the El Niño and La Niña impacts on local monthly and seasonal precipitation, and the occurrence of extreme dry/precipitation events on mountain regions exposed to several climate variability processes in Colombia and México. We did this research because we work on rural studies and this kind of climate analyses can be usefull for the development of strategies to improve crop production and resource management by local stackeholders and farmers.
