What, Me Worry? What Californians Can Expect from the ‘Super’ El Nino
On the next Fiat Lux Redux, Tuesday, September 15 at 9AM, Bruce Riordan, the Director of the Berkeley Climate Change Network (BCCN), an initiative based at UC Berkeley that functions as an institutional connector, convener, and resource hub for climate action across UC Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), speaks with Climate Scientist Daniel Swain (UC ANR, Weather West) about the record-smashing summer we are experiencing globally and looks ahead to what’s in store for California this fall and winter as a very serious El Nino builds in the Eastern Pacific.
This BCCN podcast took place in August 2026 and was edited for KALX by Lisa Katovich. If you have questions or comments about Fiat Lux Redux, contact lisa.katovich@gmail.com.
Fiat Lux Redux presents previously aired lectures, conversations, and podcasts originating on the campus of UC Berkeley every other Tuesday from 9am to 9:30am. These often-lengthy original programs have been edited to a 30-minute format by experienced KALX producers. The show’s name, Latin for “Let there be light”, is a reference to the University of California’s motto, which is also Fiat Lux. The show’s goal is to provide listeners with a window into the intellectual and cultural life of UC Berkeley and to showcase the wide range of subjects and diversity of thought and ideas that are present at UC Berkeley.
