El Niño is gaining strength and could last until 2027. What does this mean?

SAPO Notícias4 September 2026 at 18:00

The El Niño meteorological phenomenon is gaining strength and could extend until 2027, according to the latest forecasts. The tropical Pacific waters are exceptionally warm, which is fueling an El Niño episode with particularly intense characteristics.

According to projections, this phenomenon is expected to reach a very strong intensity by the end of 2026, representing one of the most significant episodes in recent years. The abnormally high surface water temperatures in the Pacific are the main fuel for the maintenance and strengthening of this climate pattern.

The consequences of this situation include an increased risk of extreme weather events in several regions of the globe. The article suggests that this prolonged El Niño could affect precipitation patterns, temperatures, and weather conditions in various parts of the world.
