Many are aware that El Niño is a Pacific weather pattern that pushes up global temperatures and can cause disruption, but what we may be less aware of is the effects it could have in the coming months.
According to scientists at The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), there is a 63% chance of a very strong El Niño or "Super El Niño" in the Northern Hemisphere later this year. Predicting the exact timing and location of specific weather patterns is notoriously challenging. However, NOAA's research tracks how the warming phases of El Niño and and cooling phases of La Niña broadly influence weather regionally, across the US.
