El Niño intensifies rains and raises waterfall flow
Iguazu Falls are flowing at six times the normal rate and remain closed to tourism after heavy rains. Argentina's National Meteorological Service attributes the above-average volume to the strengthening of El Niño, which NOAA assesses has an 83% chance of being the strongest ever recorded.
The falls on the Brazil-Argentina border are experiencing a flow six times higher than usual, prompting a temporary closure to the public, according to released information. Argentina's National Meteorological Service noted that the above-average precipitation is a result of the strengthening El Niño phenomenon. NOAA, meanwhile, estimates an 83% probability that this El Niño is the strongest ever observed.
