El Niño Set to Be the Largest on Record by a 'Mind-Blowing Margin'

The El Niño climate pattern strengthening in the Pacific Ocean is on track to be the largest one in at least 150 years, researchers said, potentially making next year the hottest on record and causing extreme weather in many parts of the world. Oceans in Asia have already smashed heat records, and the surge of heat from the El Niño will likely be exacerbated by human-caused climate change. The researchers warned that the extreme weather caused by the El Niño could have devastating consequences for communities around the world.
