El Niño May Cause 451,000 Extra Deaths
Studies indicate that the phenomenon of El Niño recorded record temperatures months before reaching its peak, which could lead to approximately 451,000 deaths worldwide over six months between September 2026 and February 2027 due to the increased heat associated with the phenomenon. Researchers expect the most affected countries to include Nigeria, Indonesia, Sudan, India, and Brazil, with around 3,500 additional fatalities in the United States. The studies recommend taking measures to protect populations from the effects of heat, such as increasing healthcare services and providing cooling centers, given the development of the phenomenon in the context of climate change and its link to rising ocean temperatures in the Pacific.
