NOAA experts predict El Niño weather conditions will dominate the northern hemisphere this summer and persist into the winter. What does this mean for humans and other species? Naturalist Eleanor Edye explains what happens in the oceans and atmosphere during an El Niño event and how it can impact specific species, especially marine animals like sea lions, sea birds such as the Brandt's cormorant and blue-footed booby, and even Arctic species like polar bears.
