“Yes, it will worsen storms”
El Niño is a climate phenomenon characterized by the warming of ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific, which can significantly impact global weather patterns. Its influence on hurricane seasons, particularly in the Atlantic, is well-documented, often leading to reduced hurricane activity due to increased wind shear. As scientists predict a strong El Niño for 2026, understanding its potential effects on the upcoming hurricane season is crucial for preparedness and risk management.
