El Niño may be strongest since 1950
The World Meteorological Organization has predicted that the "El Niño" phenomenon will reach its peak in December 2026 and continue through February 2027. It is expected to be the strongest since 1950, with sea surface temperatures rising by 3.7 degrees Celsius above normal levels, surpassing the previous record of 2.6 degrees Celsius. The organization indicated that higher ocean temperatures amplify the strength of the phenomenon, which could contribute to increased global temperatures and exacerbate the impacts of climate change. It is also projected that approximately 451,000 people worldwide could die during the potential period of its occurrence.
