El Niño

The presence of the El Niño meteorological phenomenon is indisputable, as evidenced by the temperature anomalies observed in the Pacific Ocean.

Global sea surface temperatures exceeded previous records last month. Never before has the temperature increased so rapidly. Scientists are still trying to figure out why this has happened

A recent announcement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), El Niño is likely to develop this summer, a recurring weather pattern that can cause widespread disruption of marine ecosystems and impact global weather events.

Previous El Niño events have been linked to floods, landslides, droughts, failed monsoons, and outbreaks of disease like cholera and dengue fever.
