Forecasters say a strong El NiΓ±o weather pattern could form later this year, with a chance of becoming one of the strongest in three decades. The winds above the Pacific are shifting, the ocean is releasing stored-up heat, and a cascade of effects on rain, droughts and wildfires could be on its way.

A Strong El NiΓ±o May Be Coming. Global Warming Is Changing Its Effects.
As the planet warms, past episodes of the natural weather phenomenon may no longer be a reliable guide of how the next one plays out.
