UN forecasts a "very strong" El Niño with possible duration until February 2027

Correio da Manhã3 September 2026 at 08:42

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) of the United Nations forecasts an El Niño phenomenon classified as "very strong", with the possibility of extending until February 2027. This alert represents one of the most significant forecasts regarding this climate phenomenon.

Sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific zone are already significantly above average and continue to rise. This continued temperature increase is considered a key indicator of the phenomenon's intensity.

This El Niño may have an impact on several countries, affecting weather patterns in different regions of the world. The WMO is closely monitoring the evolution of this situation.
