So I'm, I'm quite excited about this one 'cause it could be the biggest El Niño we've had in maybe a century.

Um, I mean, the, the reliable data goes back to 1950.

Um- How are we able to make that statement already? Well, El Niño starts under the water in the, in the tropical Pacific.

So imagine you're in South America, you go to the west of South America, you've got the, the big Pacific there.

It's the tropics, and El Niño's when it becomes very, very warm, um, between Australia and, and South America, effectively, when the sea surface warms up.

There's a lot of energy loading up at the moment to make this maybe the biggest one we've seen since 2015.

Mm.
