El Niño Brings Big Rain to SoCal | Los Angeles News
Description
Scientists predict a potentially record-breaking El Niño could hit Southern California between late 2026 and early 2027, bringing one of the wettest winters in decades—with a 69% chance it’ll surpass any since 1950. This climate phenomenon, driven by unusually warm Pacific waters, shifts global weather patterns, increasing rain and storms that can trigger mudslides, especially in fire-burned areas. Officials are treating storm prep like a Super Bowl, clearing debris basins and launching public safety campaigns. Residents should check flood maps, enroll in alerts, buy flood insurance, create emergency plans, and clear gutters—especially if near burn zones—to stay safe.
