UN: El Niño to peak this year
The United Nations expects the El Niño phenomenon to intensify significantly before reaching its peak in December, potentially making it one of the strongest episodes since 1950. This phenomenon leads to rising sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, causing changes in weather patterns and increasing the risks of droughts and floods worldwide. Sea surface temperatures are anticipated to reach record levels between October and December 2026, impacting weather patterns, economies, and ecosystems around the globe, with the possibility of its effects continuing into February 2027.
