Squiz Shortcuts: What is El Niño?

You might’ve seen headlines about a super El Niño developing over the past few months. Scientists say it’s going to be a record-breaker in terms of high ocean temperatures in the Pacific, and it’s set to impact the climate, food supply and the global economy. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll take a look at what El Niño is, what it could bring and what we can expect here in Australia.
