This summer could be one of the hottest on record — with a one-in-four chance of a “super El Niño” turbocharging temperatures in New York and around the world. El Niño is a naturally occurring phenomenon in which warming Pacific Ocean surface waters disrupt weather patterns worldwide — driving higher temperatures, more severe storms, and a more active Atlantic hurricane season. There is a 62% chance of El Niño forming from June to August and then lasting through the end of the year, according to a report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center.
