After months of warning, experts have confirmed that the ocean-warming event El Niño is here and will gradually strengthen into the winter, with a potential worldwide climate impact.
After months of anticipation, the ocean-warming event known as El Niño is officially here and could last until 2024, scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday .
Experts have suspected an El Niño this year for some time. A NASA satellite spotted an early sign of El Niño forming in March and April: warm water in the Pacific Ocean moving eastward toward the west coast of South America. Scientists now expect"moderate-to-strong" conditions lasting into the Northern Hemisphere's fall and winter.
