Characteristics of El Niño winter

1. El Niño refers to the phenomenon of abnormally rising temperatures in large areas of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Axel Timmerman of the University of Hawaii believes that this time is likely to be a "super El Niño". "This time the water temperature under the sea surface is very high. It not only moves eastward but will also reach the sea surface." According to Timmerman Introduction: The current climate model analysis in the United States shows that the intensity of this El Niño may be comparable to the El Niño from 1997 to 1998.

2. In Asia and East Africa, the weather will be extremely hot. India, in particular, has been hit by extreme weather. In China, El Niño will move the rain belt southward, causing drought in the north and floods in the south. Extreme high temperatures may occur in the northern region.
