“Super El Niño” heads toward historic record, scientists warn of an extremely hot 2027

The El Niño climate phenomenon, which is intensifying in the Pacific Ocean, is expected to become the strongest ever recorded, according to researchers from the US-based Berkeley Earth foundation.

Experts who have been monitoring the phenomenon for years predict that the heat wave caused by what is now being called “Super El Niño,” combined with global warming driven by human-caused climate change, could make 2027 the hottest year ever recorded.

According to researchers, extreme temperatures could trigger a series of severe weather events in many parts of the world, particularly in Latin America. These forecasts were presented in Berkeley Earth’s latest climate bulletin during a conference held on July 23.

“Based on projections from a series of climate models, the peak of this El Niño phenomenon is expected to surpass the previous record by a truly extraordinary margin,” said climatologist Zeke Hausfather, one of the study’s authors.
