The current El Niño is one of the strongest ever recorded.
It can bring heavy rain in some regions and dry conditions in others.
Scientists use early warnings to protect people and farms.
When the ocean gets very warm, some places may get lots of rain and floods 🌧️, while others may become very dry 🌞.
