El Niño impacts: California risks
El Niño has emerged as a potentially historic climate event, with a high likelihood of intensifying to a "very strong" or "historic" level, potentially leading to significant impacts in California. Experts warn that this El Niño could bring an exceptionally wet winter with increased rainfall and flood risks, along with higher sea levels causing more frequent and severe coastal flooding. Warmer Pacific Ocean waters may also attract marine species closer to shore, increasing shark sightings and altering marine ecosystems, though warmer waters could also threaten some ocean life through marine heat waves and habitat decline.
