About this Event

What happens when a natural climate pattern meets a warming planet? Explore the science behind El Niño, how it influences global temperatures and weather patterns, and how climate change can intensify its impacts. Learn what scientists mean by a “Super El Niño,” how these powerful events can affect extreme heat, rainfall, droughts, and storms around the world, and what scientists are watching to better understand their potential risks. Discover how El Niño and climate change interact—and what this means for our planet’s future - across various timescales including what La Nina may bring in the coming months and years ahead.
