"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.

El Nino conditions are expected to strengthen in the coming months, bringing potentially significant impacts, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.

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

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 weather event – which can bring droughts, floods and record temperatures – has officially arrived, and could grow to peak strength.

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.
