"It's the first El Niño in three years, and some forecaster expect to be one of the strongest ever."

U.S. meteorologists say an El Nino has formed. That's the natural warming of parts of the Pacific that changes weather around the globe.

Forecasters say this could be one of the largest El Niño events on record. Here's what happens next.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed the existence of the El Nino, expected to grow to historic strength and turbocharge extreme weather.

The global weather event long feared to arrive this year is now active in the Pacific, sparking fears of its impact on the climate across the US.

Scientists warn this strong El Nino could intensify extreme weather globally, causing significant heat, floods, droughts, and economic impacts.

El Niño, nature's chaotic climate agent, has formed in a warmed-up Pacific Ocean and is expected to grow to historic strength, meteorologists said Thursday.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday the return of El Nino: the warm phase of a natural climate cycle linked to higher global temperatures and…

From a wet winter in the Southwest to fewer Atlantic hurricanes, this is what to expect as a potential super El Niño takes shape.

Among the effects predicted: drought in the Pacific Northwest, flooding risk in the South, more Pacific hurricanes, high ocean heat and visits from unusual fish and sharks.

NOAA has officially confirmed the start of El Niño, which is set to worsen global warming from the burning of fossil fuels.
