El Niño may cause 451,000 more deaths
A study indicates that the phenomenon of El Niño, characterized by an unusual rise in sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, could lead to approximately 451,000 additional deaths worldwide between September 2026 and February 2027 due to increased temperatures, excluding the potential impacts of droughts, fires, and flooding. Researchers used models related to the relationship between temperatures and mortality in over 24,000 regions globally and predicted that the most affected countries would include Nigeria, Indonesia, Sudan, India, and Brazil. Meanwhile, the United States is expected to see about 3,500 heat-related deaths during the same period. Additional preventive measures are recommended to reduce the risks of heat, such as improving healthcare, providing cooling centers, and developing protective approaches for outdoor workers, in order to address the potential increase in the impact of the El Niño phenomenon, which is expected to worsen with climate changes caused by global warming.
