The current El Niño is now one of the strongest on record, new data shows, catapulting it into rare “super El Niño” territory. It means a very strong El Niño is ongoing. El Niño influences weather around the globe, so its strength and demise will continue to have an impact on the weather we experience in the coming months. The stronger an El Niño gets, the more likely it is to influence the global weather over time. La Niñas often produce the opposite weather patterns as El Niño, including a more active hurricane season.
