The anticipated 'super' El Niño could lead to extreme weather events worldwide. Southern California may face above-average rainfall, increasing risks of flash floods and landslides. Coastal erosion and high-tide flooding are also possible. Globally, regions like Australia and northern South America may experience drought, while eastern Africa could see wetter conditions. Additionally, El Niño is expected to temporarily boost global temperatures, potentially breaking records. Marine ecosystems and coastal communities may face heightened stress due to warming ocean waters.
