Global climate phenomenon
Super El Niño events, officially called very strong El Niño events, are climatic phenomena resulting from the average sea surface temperatures in parts of the Pacific Ocean rising by 2° Celsius or more. Climate impacts from Super El Niño events can include widespread and severe flooding, drought and unseasonable temperature extremes, which can result in crop failures, food shortages, famine, disruption in water supplies, displacement, declines in native fauna, and an increased risk of wildfires and cyclones, which can contribute to economic disruption and civil conflict.

Global climate phenomenon
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a global climate phenomenon that emerges from variation in winds and sea surface temperatures over the tropical Pacific Ocean. Those variations have an irregular pattern, but do have some appearance of cycles. The occurrence of ENSO is not easily predictable. It affects the climate of much of the tropics and subtropics, and has links (teleconnections) to higher-latitude regions of the world. The warming phase of the sea surface temperature is known as "El Niño" and the cooling phase as "La Niña".
