El Niño Causes Record Rain in Tokyo and Rare Flower Bloom in Chile's Atacama Desert
El Niño, a natural climate phenomenon, is causing unusual weather patterns worldwide ahead of its expected December peak. Tokyo recorded 35 consecutive days of rain, its longest since 1886, while Chile's Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth, experienced rare heavy rainfall that triggered a bloom of around 200 flower species. Several Chilean regions saw record rainfall levels not observed since the 1950s, highlighting El Niño's significant impact on global weather extremes.
