UN warns of prolonged El Niño until 2027
The World Meteorological Organization announced that the current El Niño phenomenon may be the strongest since records began 40 years ago, with expectations that it will intensify over the coming months and persist until February 2027. They confirmed that the severity of the phenomenon could exceed typical indicators, with an almost 100% probability of continuation until that date. It is expected to cause significant changes in rainfall patterns and temperature ranges, increasing risks of floods, droughts, and extreme heat events. The UN Secretary-General also pointed out that the phenomenon threatens the global climate, amid unprecedented rises in sea surface temperatures, and called for measures to address the increasing climate risks.
