What do you know about El Niño?
🌡️ El Niño and La Niña are opposite phases of a naturally occurring powerful climate pattern known as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Shaped by interactions between the tropical Pacific Ocean and the atmosphere above, ENSO is a major driver of year-to-year changes in rainfall, temperature and extreme weather worldwide.
During an El Niño event, sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean become unusually warm and trade winds weaken.
🌡️ El Niño typically occurs every two to seven years. It generally begins developing between March and June and reach its peak intensity between November and February. El Niño events can last up to 18 months. But no two El Niños are exactly alike.
The most recent strong El Niño between 2023 – 2024 added a temporary warming effect on top of the long-term warming trend, contributing to 2024 becoming the hottest year on record.
🌡️ Climate change does not cause an El Niño. However, a warmer ocean and atmosphere can add heat and moisture to the climate system, which may worsen some ENSO-related extremes, including heatwaves and heavy rainfall.
