"An extraordinary super-event: El Niño's climate phenomenon moves across the world – and triggers water temperatures in the Pacific that have long been considered impossible. Researchers warn: The record El Niño will even increase.
In parts of the Pacific the water has been as warm as ever since the beginning of the records - on average more than 30 degrees. Researchers already speak of a "super-event" with global consequences. Depending on the region, severe droughts or exactly the opposite threaten: far too much rain.
El Niño doesn't create new heat on the planet. It releases heat that the ocean has already stored beneath the surface, which is why a strong El Niño often results in one of the warmest years on record, as was the case in 2024.
For the first time, more than 30 degrees were measured in the Niño 3.4 region in the Pacific. Experts speak of a Super El Niño with possible consequences for the global climate.
