The United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization warn that a powerful "super" El Nino is likely to develop, with over 90 % probability by November, driven by an unusually large pool of warm Pacific water. They forecast above‑average temperatures worldwide from June to August, and expect heightened risks of heatwaves, droughts and heavy rainfall.
El Nino conditions are developing and are set to influence global temperature and rainfall patterns.
We need to prepare for a potentially strong El Niño event — which will exacerbate drought and heavy rainfall and increase the risk of heatwaves both on land and in the ocean.
The world must treat it as the urgent climate warning it is. El Niño conditions will pour fuel on the fire of a warming world.
