# El Niño: A powerful El Niño is here: What it could mean for your weather, region by region

> NOAA's Climate Prediction Centre has upgraded the current El Niño to Super El Niño status after Niño 3.4 sea surface temperatures stayed about 2°C above average for three consecutive months. The pattern is expected to bring heavier rain and possible flooding to California and the Southwest, and milder, drier winter conditions to the Midwest and Northeast.
