It has been predicted that the 2026-2027 El Niño is going to be a strong event (NOAA, 2026). El Nino is a natural phenomenon that occurs every 2-7 years, in which the wind patterns in the Pacific Ocean significantly weakens (NOAA, 2025). As a result, the ocean temperature is higher than average leading to more rainfall in California. However, It should be noted that El Nino has different effects in other parts of the world, such as reducing rainfall and increasing the chances of wildfires. |
