El Nino Means More Hot Days This Year

Major news outlets in Canada and the US have declared the return of El Nino to North America for the first time in seven years. But what exactly is El Nino? According to the National Geographic magazine, El Nino is “a climate pattern that describes the unusual warming of surface waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean”. In simple terms, this means the return of El Nino will bring warmer and drier summers to parts of North America and greater risk of wildfires in forested areas. Scientists said El Nino is a natural phenomenon that has affected North America for many centuries but its duration has lengthened in recent years. In 2023, El Nino is expected to continue into early winter and it will create unpredictable weather patterns in many parts of Ontario. Most of us are probably not surprised at this point because we’ve been experiencing wild fire smoke and record-breaking high temperatures in Toronto earlier in July. Some scientists have even said that 2023 is on track to become the hottest year on human record!
