The World, the Universe and Us · A “Super” El Niño May Be Coming - Here’s What It Means · 22 Jun 2026 podcast

Can you perhaps recap for us, first off, what's happening in a regular El Nino event? matched

Four times more. matched

I wondered if when we say that El Ninos under climate change are having more intense impacts, is that because the El Ninos themselves are becoming more intense under climate change? matched

Or is it just that we're having an El Nino on top of what is already a heat stressed and more vulnerable world? matched

I wondered if we could talk about when we're likely to start feeling some of the effects of the El Nino that's begun here, for example, in the UK or Western Europe. matched

The weather has been very strange so far this year, but do we know if that's related? matched

One of the sort of really fascinating aspects is it's this Pacific phenomenon that spreads all over the world. matched

Alec, I wondered if you could take us through how El Nino ends up impacting those of us in Europe when it starts off so far away. matched

But it does also flick the switch sort of the other way and give us a colder, drier one sometimes. matched

It's obviously quite difficult to pin down exactly when it will kick off and what effects we would expect. matched

But we do know that it's coming and there's a chance that it could cause trillions of damage. matched

So how do we start preparing now? matched

Food security is a real concern, isn't it, Alec? matched

I guess we know, but it's not often talked about, that food prices have already gone up because of climate change. matched

So that's just another illustration, isn't it? matched

That, OK, it might be a natural event that we have this kind of impact. matched

It amps up many gears every now and then. matched

Yes, exactly. matched

You kind of ignore that we have already, or it's easy to ignore that we've already found ourselves in a new normal that's changing all the time. matched

Emily, I wondered if just as we sort of look ahead, we know that we would expect the peak effects to be towards the end of this year. matched
