CNBC Reviews a Month of Intensifying Natural Disasters Linked to 'Super El Niño'
A CNBC report says the past month has seen a string of severe natural disasters, including earthquakes, volcanic activity and flooding, which it links to an intensifying El Niño phenomenon.

CNBC reported on Sept. 8 that the past month has been marked by a series of severe natural disasters, describing it as a difficult period for communities affected by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and flooding.
According to the report, the frequency and intensity of these events have been linked to what CNBC describes as a "super El Niño" phenomenon currently taking effect. El Niño is a recurring climate pattern involving the warming of surface waters in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean, which can influence weather patterns worldwide.
The CNBC report, titled a review of "some of the worst" disasters from the past month, indicates that multiple types of natural hazards — including seismic, volcanic and flood-related events — occurred within the same period.
CNBC did not immediately provide further specifics in the available excerpt regarding exact locations, casualty figures or the scale of damage associated with these events. This article will be updated if additional details from the source become available.
Climate scientists have previously noted that strong El Niño patterns can be associated with shifts in global weather systems, including changes in rainfall and storm activity in various regions, though attributing specific disaster events to the phenomenon typically requires further scientific analysis.
