The Last Word with Matt Cooper · How Will El Niño Impact Ireland This Autumn? · 3 Sep 2026 podcast

It can have all kinds of uh deleterious effects.

So, for example, it can disrupt the the monsoon as far away as India.

It can disrupt uh weather patterns all over the world.

Now, the last really powerful El Nino mat was in nineteen eighty, sorry, ninety seven to ninety eight.

That delivered the hottest year of the twentieth century, right?

Now, if you were to find, if I was to present uh another one of my radio charts for you, you wouldn't be able to locate the hottest year of the 20th century in the top 20 hottest years of the 21st century.

That's how quickly heating has taken off.

So 1998 is no longer even in the top twenty.

So that that that was delivered, Matt, in ninety-eight because of an El Nino.

We're

Now heading into what what scientists are describing as a Godzilla sized El Nino.

Now, what we're getting here is that while I said it is a natural effect, which it is, what we're seeing is that the El Nino itself is being supercharged by global warming.

So what is developing in the eastern Pacific Ocean is a monster.

This is going to play itself out over the next few months.

By the way, the the the extreme heat of the summer of twenty twenty six.

in Europe is at least partly attributed to it to to the El Nino effect.

So it's already kicking in.

It will intensify by the into the autumn, but it's likely to peak in early twenty twenty seven.

But hold on.

Yeah.
