Super El Niño fuels extreme weather worldwide
Original: Super El Niño fuels extreme weather
A powerful El Niño event is being linked to a run of extreme weather across the globe, including heatwaves, flooding and droughts. Scientists point to the super-strength of the ocean warming pattern in the Pacific as a driver of recent severe conditions, with meteorologists warning that its impacts could persist and disrupt weather, agriculture and communities in multiple regions.
Why now: Ongoing extreme weather events are being attributed to the exceptionally strong El Niño, drawing wide public attention.
