Cold water off Peru and southern Ecuador helps keep the coast dry. Every two to seven years, these winds weaken and warm water spreads east. Sea surface temperatures just 1–2°C above normal can shift global weather patterns. In the 1870s, a powerful El Niño contributed to a famine that took millions of lives 🌡️ Forecasts suggest this super El Niño could push temperatures in parts of the eastern Pacific more than 3°C above normal. As the ocean releases heat into the atmosphere, global temperatures rise and 2027 could become the hottest year ever recorded. #elnino #superelnino #elnino2026 #pacificocean #tradewinds #drought #flooding #learn #maps #learning #history #geography Sun, 20 Sep 2026 20:04:47 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.blueben.net https://tube.blueben.net/client/assets/images/icons/icon-96x96.png https://tube.blueben.net/videos/watch/217f84fa-57e9-475d-97f4-a02da9ef8ad7 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.blueben.net/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
