Our oceans are much warmer. They\u2019re releasing a lot more heat into the atmosphere, and this heat dome is an example of you know what fossil fuel-driven climate change looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scientists from the World Weather Attribution group released an analysis showing the hot and humid conditions in the earlier East Coast hot spell \u2014 which fell as America celebrated its 250th anniversary on July 4 \u2014 would have been \u201cvirtually impossible\u201d without human-caused climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists say a brewing \u201csuper\u201d El Nino in the equatorial Pacific could also be influencing the heat dome.<\/p>\n<p>Record-warm sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific are shifting where tropical storms form and release energy, which in turn is distorting the jet stream over the western US and allowing hot air to get trapped in place.<\/p>\n<p>US forecasters expect El Nino to peak between October and December at potentially record-breaking levels, with the strongest spike in temperature to follow in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Compounded with human-induced climate change, the last El Nino contributed to making 2023 the second-hottest year on record and 2024 the all-time high.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
