2026年6月16日，澳洲氣象局正式宣佈聖嬰現象已經開始。
By monitoring sea surface temperatures and atmospheric indicators like weakening trade winds, scientists have confirmed that this climate phenomenon is underway in the tropical Pacific.
透過監測海面溫度與大氣指標（如信風減弱），科學家已證實此氣候現象正在熱帶太平洋發展。
Models suggest this event could be among the strongest recorded since 1950 and may persist throughout the remainder of the year.
模型顯示，此事件可能是1950年以來最強的一次，且可能持續至今年底。
For Australia, El Niño typically signals a period of reduced rainfall and hotter temperatures, particularly across eastern and northern regions.
對澳洲而言，聖嬰現象通常預示著降雨減少與高溫，特別是在東部與北部地區。
This shift often brings heightened risks, including drought, heatwaves, and dangerous bushfire conditions.
這種轉變常帶來更高的風險，包括乾旱、熱浪與危險的森林大火情況。
However, experts stress that El Niño does not act in isolation.
然而，專家強調，聖嬰現象並非孤立運作。
While the term 'Super El Niño' captures headlines, the focus remains on resilience and adaptation to navigate this challenging season in a warming global climate.
雖然「超級聖嬰」一詞佔據了新聞標題，但重點仍在於韌性與調適，以度過這個在暖化全球氣候中充滿挑戰的季節。
