The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) predicts the occurrence of a Super El Niño with probability "close to 100%" by February 2027. This large-scale climate phenomenon is known for its significant impacts on global weather conditions.

Given this forecast, the British government is advising UK citizens to prepare emergency supplies. The recommendation includes accumulating food, water, and essential supplies to face potential crisis situations that may arise with this climate event.

The British executive's urgency in preparing the population reflects the expected severity of this phenomenon. Authorities are calling on the population not to wait until the emergency occurs, but rather to take immediate preventive measures to ensure their safety and that of their families during the period when Super El Niño will be active.
