The Coming Storm: A "Mind Blowing" El Niño and the Climate Crisis A recent analysis by climate scientists suggests that this year's El Niño is on track to break all records.
Peak temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean are expected to rise by a staggering 6. 5 degrees Fahrenheit above average, surpassing even the strongest El Niños of the past 150 years.
This El Niño will peak late in the year, meaning its impact on global temperatures won't be felt until next year.
