El Niño returns: California watches a planetary-scale Kelvin wave
Original: el niño
Attention on El Niño is rising as meteorologists explain a 'planetary-scale Kelvin wave' — a massive pulse of warm water moving eastward along the equatorial Pacific. The Weather Network reports the phenomenon is strengthening the El Niño pattern and is fueling concern in California, where it can drive heavy winter storms and flooding, while also altering weather patterns worldwide.
Why now: A developing El Niño and reports of a giant warm-water Kelvin wave are raising worries about extreme weather, especially for California.
