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".

A ‘Godzilla’ El Niño is still intensifying in the Pacific. When will we see the weather phenomenon peak – and when will it come to an end?
El Niño has formed distinctly and continues to strengthen, with the potential to become one of the most intense in over 70 years, threatening to exacerbate extreme weather events.
The World Meteorological Organization places the probability of El Niño remaining active until February 2027 at close to 100% and forecasts record temperatures in the tropical Pacific between October and December 2026
