The shift from La Niña to El Niño is officially underway, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issuing an El Niño Watch, indicating that conditions are expected to develop within the next few months. Current forecast models predict an 80–90% chance of a strong El Niño event, with a smaller but still significant possibility of a “Super El Niño” forming. This Super El Niño is anticipated to peak around October, coinciding with the height of the Atlantic hurricane season.
