Super El Niño Just Took a Huge Turn — And Nobody Knows What Just Happened

Super El Niño Just Took a ​Huge Turn — And Nobody Knows What Just Happened. Super El Niño Just Took a Huge Turn — And Nobody Knows ​What Just Happened Three weeks ago, the ​Pacific was on track ​to ​build the strongest El Niño ​ever recorded. Then, in just eleven days, ​the water off South America dropped nearly three degrees Celsius while the central Pacific kept heating up. The El Niño didn't die. Something moved it, and that shift may ​have just loosened the lid on the Atlantic. You'll see the three ​suspects forecasters have been arguing over: the Madden-Julian Oscillation, a discharging Kelvin wave, and a shape-shifting El Niño. Then ​follow ​the fallout to the western Caribbean, where ​months of untouched, record-warm water now sits ​under weakening wind ​shear, with hurricane season not over yet. Do you think November still ​has ​a major storm left in it? ​Tell us in the ​comments and subscribe to follow both oceans as this unfolds. #ElNino #SuperElNino #HurricaneSeason #Weather ​#ClimateScience
