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.

All the buzz around the “Super El Niño” has many Utahns particularly excited for winter, though the exact impacts on natural snow are hard to predict. A less discussed consequence could be how the storms will impact pre-season snowmaking.
Climatologists say El Niño could bring one of the wettest winters on record to California this year.
