NASA Warns a Monster El Niño Could Surpass the Historic 1997 Event

NASA has warned that an El Niño event currently forming in the Pacific could potentially surpass the historic 1997 event. El Niño is a natural climate pattern that occurs roughly every two to seven years and can have global weather implications. Previous strong events in 1997-98 and 2015-16 led to worldwide weather disruptions, including fires, droughts, and floods.
