Another ‘Super El Niño’ is brewing. Scientists are looking at a controversial solution to squash them
Researchers found early marine cloud brightening could cut El Niño impacts by about 40% in climate-model simulations, offering a possible tool against heat and fires.
- El Nino is already underway and expected to rapidly strengthen into a strong event between July and September, increasing the risk of extreme weather worldwide, according to the World Meteorological Organization .
- El Nino warms surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, affecting global winds, pressure, and rainfall patterns, with impacts expected to include above-average temperatures and varied rainfall across populated regions from 60°S to 60°N.
- The last El Nino contributed to making 2023 the second-hottest year at about 1.55°C above pre-industrial levels.
- WMO chief Celeste Saulo warned that El Nino raises the risk of drought, heavy rainfall, heatwaves, and marine heatwaves and emphasized the importance of advanced forecasts and early warnings to protect communities, economies, health, and agriculture.

"El Niño" is back - and apparently more violent than ever. Researchers are expecting a new record, whose effects will probably only show up next year. But is the weather phenomenon also the reason for the current extreme heat periods in Germany and Europe?
