Episode Details

El Niño is officially here, and it’s heating up fast — ocean temps in the Niño 3.4 region are already near 2°C above average, with some calling it a “super” El Niño, possibly breaking records. This dramatic shift from last winter’s La Niña to this year’s extreme heat is happening faster than expected, and scientists are scrambling to understand why. With peak temperatures predicted between October and December, the impacts could be severe: droughts threatening global food security, milder but drier winters in Canada, and a spike in wildfires — especially in the West. This isn’t just weather — it’s a climate force reshaping agriculture, ecosystems, and daily life.
