Strengthening El Niño shows in rising sea-surface temperatures

Original: Sea-surface temperatures reflect strengthening El Niño

The World Meteorological Organization reports that sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific reflect a strengthening El Niño, the periodic warming of ocean waters that can disrupt weather patterns worldwide. Typically the event brings droughts, floods and heat extremes to different regions, and forecasters watch ocean temperature anomalies closely to anticipate impacts on agriculture, fisheries and extreme weather risk in the months ahead.

Why now: El Niño events drive global weather extremes, so updates on its strengthening draw wide attention from communities and industries that depend on climate conditions.
