El Niño Is Back and It’s Already Causing Chaos

The powerful climate pattern known as El Niño has returned. It is already causing unusual weather around the world, and scientists warn there is more to come. El Niño is a natural warming of the Pacific Ocean. It changes weather patterns globally, affecting rainfall, temperatures, and storms. This year's event is unusually strong, sometimes called a "super El Niño." What does that mean for the months ahead? Expect more extreme weather. Some regions will face heavy flooding. Others will suffer severe drought. Heatwaves may also become more common. Scientists say this El Niño could rank among the strongest on record. Its effects are already visible. Now governments and communities are preparing for what may come next.
