- There is a high probability it will reach Super El Niño status.
- This event will likely have major global weather consequences.
- Warmer Pacific waters drive these changes in atmospheric and weather patterns.
What the video covers
- El Niño has officially arrived according to NOAA's Climate Prediction Center.
- This El Niño event is expected to be very strong, possibly reaching Super El Niño status.
- El Niño is a recurring climate cycle characterized by altered wind patterns and warmer Pacific waters.
- The warmer water spreads across the Pacific, influencing weather worldwide.
- Current conditions indicate the intensity of this El Niño will increase through this year and next.
- There is about a two in three chance this El Niño will become one of the strongest recorded.
- A stronger El Niño typically leads to hotter global temperatures and significant weather impacts.

El Nino is a recurring climate cycle that features altered wind patterns in the atmosphere that allow warmer
Speaker A
than normal water to spread across the Pacific, which in turn affects weather patterns around the world.
Speaker A
Now those conditions are in place, but the intensity of this El Nino is expected to climb. The density of this El Nino is expected to climb
Speaker A
through the rest of this year and into next year. There's now about a two in three chance that this El Nino will reach Super El Nino status, making it one of, if not the strongest we've ever seen.

A stronger El Nino means hotter
