This year's record El Niño and its global impacts
Original: The impacts of this year’s record-shattering El Niño
The 2023-24 El Niño is described as record-shattering, with analysis of its wide-ranging effects on global temperatures, weather patterns and ecosystems. The event has driven exceptional ocean warming in the tropical Pacific, contributing to record global heat, shifts in rainfall, droughts and flooding in various regions, and stress on fisheries and agriculture. Commentators are weighing how much of the recent temperature surge should be attributed to El Niño versus longer-term climate change.
Why now: The current El Niño is one of the strongest on record and is being linked to unprecedented global heat extremes.
