Developing super El Niño has 90% chance of becoming strongest in 150 years, risking record heat and extreme weather

A developing super El Niño in the tropical Pacific has a 90 per cent chance of becoming the strongest in 150 years, risking record heat and extreme weather, New Scientist said in a post on X. The magazine cited an article stating the event would be the hottest by a huge margin, breaking global temperature records and unleashing extreme weather. The post included a link to the New Scientist article. The forecast suggests the climate pattern could surpass previous historic events in intensity. New Scientist did not specify the baseline period for the 150-year comparison in the post.
