So, for both La Niña and El Niño the warm pool is offset from an
"average" position. During El Niño, it shifts to the east so that it's
closer to the western hemisphere. And during La Niña, it shifts to the
west, so that it's closer to Asia/Northwest Australia.

And the convective thunderstorms develop over the warm pool. In turn,
they act to anchor the subtropical jet-stream, which changes its
position in the mid-latitudes, and thus influences the larger weather
pattern.

So, during La Niña you get more rain in Manila than you would expect,
and less over Peru. And during El Niño, you get more rain in Peru than
you would expect, and less in Manilla.

If only things were that simple. They may work like that on your
computer networks but the earth is an analogue machine and subject to
different vagaries.

But if the world works according to Aggian principles, what you have
described is a change in orders of magnitude from a a slightly warmer
pool to a stream of low pressure, high altitude air.

All through the power of a thunderstorm.
No offence but you should get a job vetting scripts for Star Trek.
