Record ocean heat fuels strengthening El Niño, driving global weather shifts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This stored energy is now being released back into the atmosphere, contributing to extreme weather events like heatwaves in Europe and the US. A strengthening El Niño phenomenon is a primary mechanism for this heat transfer, with significant implications for global weather patterns, including increased chances of drought and heavy rainfall in various regions.
