US researchers have linked Australian wildfires of 2019-20 causally to the triple La Niñas of 2020-22 events that led to the widespread flooding of Australia’s east coast. This week, CSIRO climate researchers answered the big question on everyone’s lips: Was ENSO being affected by global warming, and if so, by how much?

An El Niño is likely in 2023, possibly a strong one. Here's what causes the global weather phenomenon and what it could mean in the United States.

Most forecasts say El Niño will return for the first time in nearly four years in July.

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation, which has a huge influence on global weather patterns, isn't behaving as computer models predicted. That's puzzling scientists.

It’s coming. Winds are weakening along the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Heat is building beneath the ocean surface. By July, most forecast models agree that the climate system’s biggest player – El Niño – will return for the first time in nearly four years.&#x...

El Niño warming might not seem like a big deal to surfers hoping to take off the wetsuit. But it can make living in the ocean feel like running a marathon.

El Niño warms a stretch of ocean more than enough to completely reorganize wind, rainfall and temperature patterns all over the planet.

 El Niño tends to trigger intense and widespread periods of extreme ocean warming known as marine heat waves

El Niño can trigger intense and widespread periods of extreme ocean warming known as marine heat waves. They can devastate marine life.
