Strong El Niño: The phenomenon that worries scientists and threatens the planet with extreme weather

The article discusses the intensification of the El Niño phenomenon, which is currently one of the strongest in recent decades. According to scientific estimates and meteorological organizations, the event could reach unprecedented levels since at least 1950. Meteorologists are closely monitoring the tropical Pacific Ocean, where signs indicate that El Niño is expected to strengthen rapidly over the next few months, reaching peak intensity by late autumn to early winter. Some scientists and international media have informally referred to this potential event as 'Super El Niño,' noting that only a few phenomena in recent years have matched its strength, with the most recent significant occurrence being during 2015-2016. New models suggest the current El Niño might surpass even those levels. The article explains that El Niño is part of the ENSO cycle and involves warmer-than-average surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific, leading to global atmospheric circulation changes and extreme weather patterns such as heatwaves, heavy rainfall, droughts, and impacts on food security and humanitarian needs worldwide.
