WMO Warns of Rising Weather Risks with Strengthening El Niño
The World Meteorological Organization expects the El Niño phase, a climate phenomenon characterized by an unusual rise in sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, to continue in the coming months. This is likely to increase the risks of heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall worldwide. Forecasts indicate a rapid development toward a strong phase between July and September 2026, with a notable rise of about two degrees Celsius in sea surface temperatures in key regions. The impacts of the phenomenon vary from region to region and are linked to the intensity and duration of El Niño, as well as its interaction with other climatic conditions. Many areas are expected to experience temperatures higher than average, heightening the risk of extreme weather events. The organization has called on countries to enhance preparedness and early warning systems to mitigate the effects on populations and economies, especially in sensitive sectors such as agriculture, water management, energy, and health.
