"Assessing the Future: The Current State and Outlook of El Niño"

The current El Niño is one of the strongest on record, labeled as a "super El Niño," but it has already peaked and is expected to weaken. Its influence on global weather, including warmer winters in the northern US and wetter conditions in the southern US, has been notable. El Niño has also impacted weather patterns in South America, Africa, Australia, and parts of Asia. As it transitions to a neutral phase and potentially to La Niña, there are implications for future weather patterns, including the possibility of a more active hurricane season.
