A super El Niño is a weather phenomenon marked by a surge of warmth in surface waters along the equator in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean. It is a stronger version of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle, which is a weather phenomenon in which sea temperatures at the surface in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean become substantially warmer than normal. A super El Niño is characterized by warmer-than-average temperatures in the Tropical Pacific Ocean and can have a significant impact on weather patterns across the world, causing extreme weather events such as deadly fires, drought, heat waves, floods, and mudslides. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has developed an experimental prediction system that forecasts a super El Niño this winter, with strength rivaling the historic El Niño of 1997-1998. However, some experts argue that we wont have a super El Niño this year.
