Artificial intelligence can now predict El Niño 18 months in advance

I’ll believe it when I see it. Right now weather forecasts can’t predict tomorrow very well:

Artificial intelligence is learning how to predict El Niño climate cycles. The hope is that the technology could be used to improve climate predictions and give policy-makers more time to prepare.

El Niño can cause severe weather and devastating damage. A phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, it occurs when water warms over the tropical Pacific Ocean, shifting east and increasing rainfall and cyclones over the Americas while pulling rain away from Indonesia and Australia.

What'ya think...
