El Niño Arrives with Odds for a Historic Super Event
TL;DR
El Niño has officially begun and forecasters assign a 63% chance it could intensify into a “Super” El Niño, potentially one of the largest on record. NOAA says it could strengthen through fall and winter, warming global temperatures and triggering broad weather shifts—from heat and heavy rainfall in some regions to drought in others—while influencing Pacific hurricane activity. The event comes as the world is already warmer due to climate change, raising the likelihood that 2027 could become the warmest year on record.
