This year will be a super-duper El Niño. Here's what Canadians can expect this winter

A super-duper El Niño is shaping up to be a major weather event, with its impacts expected to ripple across Canada this winter. The Pacific Ocean's powerful warming trend could bring above-average temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and possibly more extreme weather events to various parts of the country. This matters because El Niños can significantly influence seasonal weather, potentially affecting everything from agricultural yields to infrastructure planning. While milder winters might be welcomed by some, others could face unexpected challenges due to this powerful atmospheric phenomenon.
