‘Super El Niño’ is officially here, scientists say. What can we expect?
AI Summary
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced on June 11 that El Niño has officially begun in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Scientists expect it could develop into one of the strongest El Niño events on record this century, with forecasters placing a 63% probability on exceptionally strong conditions through early 2027, potentially rivaling or exceeding the 1997 record event. The phenomenon is anticipated to intensify through year-end and cause significant global disruptions including extreme temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and impacts on food security in vulnerable regions.
