## Resource

Australia’s weather agency is warning of a super El Niño brewing in the Pacific — possibly the strongest ever recorded — with scientists calling the forecasts “mind-blowing.” This extreme weather pattern, amplified by climate change, could push global temperatures to record highs this year or 2027. While Australia’s impact isn’t guaranteed, southern and eastern states face an 80% chance of hotter, drier springs. Sea temperatures in the Niño 3.4 region are projected to soar to 2.2–3°C — unprecedented. Compounding risks include a cooling Indian Ocean, which could trigger severe droughts like those before Australia’s 2019-2020 bushfires.
