El Niño under way and threatens weather extremes, scientists say

An El Niño event has officially started, say US scientists, raising fears of extreme weather and higher temperatures.

Meteorologists confirm the formation of El Nino, anticipating it to rival or exceed the 1997 event, potentially leading to significant global heat and extreme weather events.

El Niño has formed in the Pacific Ocean, with experts predicting it will intensify global temperatures and extreme weather patterns, potentially rivaling the 1997 event.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirms the onset of El Niño, with a 63% chance it will become one of the largest events since 1950, potentially impacting global weather patterns.

NOAA declares the onset of El Niño, initiating a chain reaction in the atmosphere that is expected to influence global weather patterns in the coming months.
