What happened
The current super El Niño is expected to strengthen through the fall and winter, potentially becoming the strongest on record in over 75 years. This climate pattern is driving severe heatwaves, wildfire risk, and drought conditions across the Great Plains and Colorado. Furthermore, El Niño has contributed to an unusually high number of hurricanes in the Pacific this season.

Why it matters
The climate phenomenon is threatening global agricultural supply chains. The warming Pacific pattern is influencing regional weather, leading to drought in Australia and Indonesia, while also increasing wildfire risk and exposure to reconstruction costs in California.
