The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) issued a new alert on the El Niño phenomenon, indicating that it is already firmly established and is expected to intensify significantly in the coming months. According to the United Nations organization update, El Niño will become a "very strong" phenomenon with possible repercussions until February 2027.
The phenomenon will have significant impacts on global climate patterns, affecting both temperatures and precipitation regimes in various regions of the world. These changes in weather patterns represent a particular concern for vulnerable communities.
Among the main risks associated with this strong El Niño, the WMO highlights the possibility of floods, droughts and extreme heat waves. These extreme climate events can have serious consequences for food security, water resources and the lives of affected populations.
