UN and Researchers Warn of Record-Strong 2026-27 El Nino Impacting Global Weather
The World Meteorological Organization and recent studies warn that the 2026-27 El Nino event could be unprecedentedly strong, with Pacific sea surface temperatures rising up to 3.8°C above average. This warming may cause extreme coastal flooding, droughts, and heavy rainfall worldwide, impacting regions from Alaska to Chile, southern Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Researchers highlight current high tides and record ocean temperatures as early indicators, urging preparedness for intensified weather extremes linked to this natural climate cycle influenced by global warming.
