Summary
El Niño has officially begun, with a high likelihood of developing into a "super" El Niño. This natural climate phase occurs when east-to-west winds weaken in the tropical Pacific, allowing warm water to shift eastward, heating the atmosphere and raising global temperatures. The phenomenon is expected to amplify extreme weather events worldwide and could lead to record-breaking temperatures, according to NOAA and global weather agencies.
