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

It the thing is uh it we're looking at a global system.

And of course you've got winter going on right now in the southern hemisphere.

In fact, Matt, if we could do a whole other segment on why we're getting temperatures in the thirties and the high thirties in the southern hemisphere in the middle of their winter.

So so winter is basically disappearing in the southern hemisphere.

And this is really scary because uh there should they should be in in much cooler temperatures right now.

So, yeah.

What we're likely to see, number one, in twenty twenty-seven is almost certainly going to overtake twenty twenty-four, which again was a minor El Nino year, as the hottest year on the instrumental record.

And that will play itself out in extreme events like we've seen this summer in in Europe, Asia, uh the Americas, and it'll play itself out in the deaths which will are likely to go from the tens of thousands we've seen across Europe this year.

Probably into multiples of that.

That's the these are these are the impacts that come with it.

Uh the event, uh the tragic

But

Okay, first of all, way more energy floating around in the system.

That's probably the most important thing to say, because you're getting this transfer of heat energy from the oceans.

Think of the oceans as a sort of a huge reservoir of of energy, like an energy uh kind of uh engine.

That energy is being released during the El Nino cycle.

That means, for example, it's very likely that we're going to get unusually warm, uh particularly nighttime conditions throughout uh the winter.

Not

Every night, by the way.

You see there's always weather variability, which will make a fool of all of us, right?
