WMO Warns of Possible Record El Niño
The World Meteorological Organization warns that the current El Niño phenomenon could be the strongest in 40 years, with Pacific Ocean surface temperatures expected to rise by 3.8°C above average. This increases the likelihood of droughts, floods, and widespread heatwaves. The organization projects that around 50 million people may face heightened risks of hunger, while African countries could suffer losses ranging from $10 billion to $20 billion due to the event's impacts. More than $50 million has been allocated to support 11 vulnerable nations. There are warnings that the coming weeks will be crucial for providing aid before the humanitarian crisis worsens, especially in East Africa.
