You ever notice how sometimes the weather just seems wrong? Tonight on Shed Happens we strip away the science and explain El Niño the Pacific warming event that shifts winds and storms worldwide. From devastating floods in South America and droughts in Australia to reshaped winters in the U.S., El Niño touches food, economies, ecosystems and lives. Scientists track it with satellites and buoys, and strong events have caused global disruptions in 1982-83, 1997-98 and 2015-16. As climate change adds uncertainty, understanding El Niño matters more than ever.
