Extreme weather is becoming more common around the world. Strong hurricanes, deadly heat waves, floods, and droughts are now happening more often because of climate change.
Scientists are now warning that the next El Niño could be extremely powerful. New data from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows ocean temperatures could rise far above normal by the fall, creating what some experts call a “super” El Niño.
A major El Niño can lead to serious problems like flooding, crop damage, drought, and economic trouble. Experts say this event could become one of the strongest ever recorded and may put added pressure on countries already facing global challenges.
