El Niño gains strength in the Pacific and Portugal suffers indirect impact

Correio da Manhã4 September 2026 at 01:30

The climate phenomenon El Niño is gaining strength in the Pacific Ocean, causing climate impacts that are being felt in various regions of the world, including Portugal indirectly. This phenomenon, which results from the abnormal warming of Pacific waters, has been intensifying and promises to bring significant consequences for the Portuguese winter. The United Nations warned that the effects of El Niño are the most intense recorded in the last 40 years, which increases concern about the weather conditions ahead. Portugal is expected to mainly feel these changes during the winter season, with possible alterations in rainfall and temperature patterns.
