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

The climate phenomenon is intensifying an already unequal global economy

The UN’s World Meteorological Organisation now warns there is an 80% chance El Niño develops this summer.

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.

Scientists have been expecting El Niño to set in for quite a while now—and it’s finally official

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.

The weather phenomenon El Nino has arrived, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday, and scientists expect it will intensify into the end of the year,…

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…

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

Global weather agencies have declared that El Niño has begun, and models show it is more likely than not to be a "super" El Niño. The climate pattern boosts extreme weather around…

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

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.
